Abstract

DINU, Anca. Using Continuations to Account for Plural Quantification and Anaphora Binding. Polibits [online]. 2012, n.45, pp.75-81. ISSN 1870-9044.

We give in this paper an explicit formal account of plural semantics in the framework of continuation semantics introduced in [1]; and extended in [4]. We deal with aspects of plural dynamic semantics such as plural quantification, plural anaphora, conjunction and disjunction, distributivity and maximality conditions. Those phenomena need no extra stipulations to be accounted for in this framework, because continuation semantics provides a unified account of scope-taking.

Keywords : Discourse semantics; continuations; plural anaphora; plural quantifiers' scope.
