"text": "Since the hallmark of the linear logic approach is to ensure that f-structure contributions are ulilized exactly once in a derivation, such constructions would at first glance appear to be problematic for the approach. We argue that the resource sharing that is commonly manifest in the treatment of coordination in other approaches is appropriately handled by exploiting the structure-sharing in LF(', f-structures. We refine our previous analysis to account for cases where an f-structure is reached by multiple paths from an enclosing f-structure. Dalrymple et al. (199aa) provides an account of LFG semantics that represents the meaning of lexical items with linear logic formulas. These formulas manipulate basic assertions of the form f~,r'.~M, for f-structures f and meaning logzc terms M. Here (r is a mapping, the semantic projectign, that relates f-structures to semantic structures. To distinguish between multiple paths entering an f-structure, we now take cr to map from sets of paths in f-structures to semantic structures. Further, the paths between f-structures are made available in the semantic space as resources. This makes it possible for the semantic formulas to exploit information about the multiple paths into an f-structure in order to account for the multiple uses of the f-structure's semantic contribution. The resulting system is sufficiently restricted in cases where other approaches overgenerate; the very property of resource-sensitivity for which resource sharing appears to be problematic actually provides explanatory advantages over systems that more freely replicate resources during derivation.",

Intuitively. however, the need for the multiple use of an f-structure meaning results not from the appearance of a particular lexical item (e.g., a conjunction) or a particular syntactic construction (e.g., parasitic gap constructions), but instead results from multiple paths to it from within the f-structure that contains it, where structure sharing is motivated on syntactic grounds.

The fact that there is no coordination involved has no bearing on the result, since the s,.mantles of resource-sharing is distinct from that of coordination in our analysis.

In LFG, the syntax/semantics interface is more loosely coupled, affording the flexibility to handle coordinated and non-coordinated cases of RNR uniformly in the semantics.

This strategy predicts the readings generated for the examples in Section 4. It also predicts the desired reading for sentence (23), since that reading requires two quantifiers. While the reading generated by Partee and Rooth is derivable, it requires three quantifiers and thus uses QNP duplication twice, which is less preferred than the reading requiring two quantifiers which uses QNP duplication once. Also, it allows some flexibility in cases where pragmatics strongly suggests that quantitiers are copied and distributed for multiple extensional verbs; unlike the Partee and Rooth account, this would apply equally to the case where there are also intensional verbs and the case where there are not. Finally, our account readily applies to cases of intensional verbs without coordination as in example (10), since it applies more generally to cases of resource sharing.",
