説明

In this paper we suggest that the scope of quantified DPs (henceforth, QPs) both in Japanese and English is determined by the syntactic feature that drives scrambling. We first review Johnson’s (2000) suggestion that there is a parallelism between the locality of QP scope and that of scrambling, and examine the possibility of reducing the rule of scope determination to covert A-scrambling. Then we suggest that QP scope is determined by those features that are responsible for both the syntactic movement and the semantic interpretation of DPs, including the topic feature in the sense of Miyagawa (2010), by showing that the facts about QP scope in English and Japanese are adequately accounted for by our approach.
