What is Scope Without Syntax: A Game Theoretic Approach: Luke M. Smith August 30, 2018 about?

This document presents a game theoretic approach to quantifier scope that is based on communicative constraints rather than syntactic structure. It models scope interpretations as outcomes of strategic interactions between speakers and hearers. The approach assumes that speakers prefer surface scope order and that transformations are dispreferred, while scrambling is not costly. The model accounts for classical and new scope data based on these assumptions.
