Approaches to scope islands in LFG+Glue

In this paper I examine two possible approaches to scope islands in LFG with Glue semantics: one in which constraints on scope level are imposed by means of constraints off the path of an inside-out functional uncertainty, and one in which they are imposed through the structural rules of the fragmen...

description In this paper I examine two possible approaches to scope islands in LFG with Glue semantics: one in which constraints on scope level are imposed by means of constraints off the path of an inside-out functional uncertainty, and one in which they are imposed through the structural rules of the fragment of linear logic used for meaning composition, by making the fragment multi-modal. For each approach, I show how it could be made to account for novel empirical arguments made in Barker (2021), and go on to argue in favour of the multi-modal Glue approach.
