Partial Proof Trees, Hybrid Logic, and Quantifier Scope

Abstract

Despite their other similarities, the frameworks of Derivational Minimalism and Resource Logic differ in the method of semantic computation. We argue that a system based on a hybrid logicincorporates features from both traditions, and so occupies a ``middle ground'' between the two.
