Additional information

Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the University of Pennsylvania Computational Linguistics Forum in April, 1993, and the ASL/LSA Conference on Logic and Linguistics at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, in August, 1993. We are grateful to the participants of these forums for their comments and criticisms. We would like to thank Gennaro Chierchia, Irene Heim, and Andy Kehler for helpful discussion of some of the ideas proposed in this paper. Finally, we wish to thank two anonymous referees for useful criticisms of an earlier draft. Part of the research for this paper was done in the summer of 1992. when the first author was a Research Staff Member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne, NY and visited the Computer Science Department of the Israel Institute of Technology-Haifa Technion. This visit was funded by a joint grant from the Haifa Technion and the University of Haifa as part of the Formal Models of Cognitive Concepts project. The second author's work was partially supported by a grant from the fund for the promotion of research at the Haifa Technion, and by a grant from the Ministry of Science of Israel.
