Abstract
In this chapter, I will propose my account of the interpretation of topical quantifiers, which is at the same time an account of exceptional wide scope phenomena. The approach to the interpretation of quantificational topics can be understood as an elaboration on how exactly the previously mentioned mechanism M functions, which has been used for illustrative purposes so far and had to remain entirely vague until here.
