About this document
Quantifier Scope and Scrambling in Russian by Suzana Abinader is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a working paper that examines how scope economy constraints quantifier scope in Russian sentences involving long-distance scrambling and VP ellipsis. The paper argues that scope economy, as proposed by Fox (2000) for English, also determines quantifier scope relations in Russian. Evidence from Russian data on doubly quantified sentences and quantificational antecedents of ellipsis parallels findings in English and supports analyzing Russian quantifier scope in terms of scope economy
