Abstract

Neither the analysis of Lasersohn (1988, 1990) nor that of Schwarzschild (1992b) seems entirely satisfactory. Ideally, what we would like is an analysis which generalizes to as many of the readings of together as possible, which does not give wrong results for examples involving downward entailing contexts or related problems, which maintains a collective/distributive ambiguity of the sort argued for in Part One of this book, and which does not require an unintuitive semantics for negation.
