Reciprocal scope at the syntax-semantics interface

Puntos clave

Reciprocal scope influences meaning at the syntax-semantics interface, highlighting complex interactions.
Key metrics in the analysis pertain to compositional semantics and the impact of syntax on meaning interpretation.
This approach employs Partial Plural Compositional DRT and integrates an explicit syntax-semantics interface model.
Findings suggest improved clarity in understanding scope within reciprocal structures, enhancing semantic analysis.

Resumen

We present an analysis of the compositional semantics of reciprocals and reciprocal scope. Our analysis of the semantics of reciprocals is based on Haug and Dalrymple (2020), with Partial Plural Compositional DRT as the meaning language (Brasoveanu 2007, Haug 2014). We augment this analysis with an explicit syntax-semantics interface in an LFG+Glue setting, and extend our treatment to scope-fixing reciprocal constructions such as the Japanese reciprocal affix aw.
