The scope determination results in extending this representation with additional context and world knowledge conditions. If there is no scope determining information the formalism can work further with this scope-ambiguous representation. Thus scope information does not have to be completely determined. 0. INTRODUCTION Many natural language sentences have more than one possible reading with regard to quantifier scope. The most widely used methods for scope determination generate all possible readings of a sentence with regard to quantifier scope by applying all quantifiers which occur in the sentence in all combinatorically possible sequences. These methods do not make use of the inner structure and meaning of a quantifier. At best quantifiers are constrained by external conditions in order to eliminate some scope relations. The best known methods are determination of scope in LF in GB May 1985 Cooper Storage Cooper 1983 Keller 1988 and the algorithm of Hobbs and Shieber Hobbs Shieber 1987 . These methods assign for instance six possible readings to a sentence with three quantifiers. Using these methods a sentence must be disambiguated in order to receive a semantic representation. This means that a scope-ambiguous sentence necessarily has several semantic representations since the formalisms for the representation do not allow for scope-ambiguity. It is hard to imagine that human beings disambiguate scope-ambiguous sentences in the same way. The generation of all possible combinations of sequences of quantifiers and the assignment of these sequences to .
