Bok-hee Lee. 1999. Ways of Scope Taking in Event-Related Readings. Studies in Modern Grammar 15, 119-137. In this paper I concentrate on two consequences of the pair quantification approach, which explain why certain contexts block the event-related readings. First, the pair-quantification approach predicts that we need a configuration in which the NP introducing the object variable and the vP introducing the event variable join the restriction of the quantifier. It is necessary to quantify over pairs. Focus and relative clauses can make the event-related readings available for strong quantifiers. Second, I argue that the pairs form join semi-lattices. Events are thought of as having a join semi-lattice structure and the pairs inherit this structure. In section 3, I discuss Weak Island effects on event-related reading. The Weak Island effects on event-related reading follow in virtue of two auxiliary observations:(i) those scopal expressions that block event reading need to take narrow scope with respect to the subject; and (ii) the same scopal expressions require either meets or complementation to be performed.
