Phantom readings: the case of modified numerals
Phantom readings: the case of modified numerals
We investigate the mechanisms proposed in formal semantics to account for the ambiguity generated by simple numerical expressions (e.g., âthree studentsâ). We explain how these mechanisms, when applied to more complex numerical expressions such as âbetween n and mâ (e.g., âbetween three and five studentsâ), predict a surprising ambiguity between âŚ
