Dynamic control of scope underspecification

Our goal is the underspecified representation and the control of ambiguities of quantifier scope. To this aim, we reformulate USDL (Pinkal 1996) in the dynamic lambda calculus DLC (Kohlhase and Kuschert 1997), which provides tight record and control over variables and their binders. This control serves as a means of expressing restrictions on scope ambiguity of quantifiers in underspecified representations.
