Additional information

Versions of this paper were presented in a number of different contexts, including: the OTS Categorial Grammar Colloquium, Utrecht, May 1991; University of Arizona Linguistics Colloquium, September 1991; Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, University of Pennsylvania, March 1992; CSLI workshop on categorial grammar and quantification, June 1992; MOL3, Austin, November 1992; Cognitive Science Brown Bag Series, University of Arizona, January 1993; Peripatetic Workshop on HPSG and Categorial Grammar, Columbus, 1993; Symposium on logic- and unification-based grammars, ESSLLI, Lisbon, August 1993. The paper owes a great deal to discussions with the audiences at these presentations, and to conversations about this material with Tom Cornell, Mark Johnson, Aravind Joshi, Ed Keenan, Manfred Krifka, Glyn Morrill, Fernando Pereira, Mark Steedman, Susan Steele, and Frans Zwarts. I am especially grateful to Michael Moortgat for discussion and clarification of the issues this paper addresses. The constructive criticism of two anonymous referees led to significant improvements. Remaining errors are of course mine. Finally, I would like to thank Merrill Garrett and Terry Langendoen and the University of Arizona International Programs Office for material support.
