[HPSG-L] Highly ambiguous sentences with lots of quantifier scoipings and psycholinguistic work on underspeification

[Stefan Müller]

Hi,

I remember that people working with the grammar matrix and large scale 
implementations reported natural occurring sentence with an enormous 
amount of readings. Something in the range of 100.000 scopings. Is this 
documented somewhere in print?

Is there psycholinguistic research showing that humans do not work with 
specific readings but leave scopings underspecified (maybe to a certain 
extend).

I am revising my HPSG textbook and switching to MRS in this book now, so 
I am interested in this kind of information.

Thanks a lot.

Best wishes

     Stefan
