Provided abstract: This project experimentally investigates if doubly-quantified sentences in Bangla, a verb-final language with scrambling, are ambiguous between Surface Scope (SS) and Inverse Scope (IS) readings. We report on a sentence-picture acceptability experiment. Results provide evidence that canonical SOV and scrambled OSV sentences allow both SS and IS. Moreover, we see a strong preference for IS in SOV order, showing the effect of a strongly distributive universal quantifier in the object position. --------------------------------------------- ## Additional Notes Links: - https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/ This presentation is part of the 2021 West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics collection, which is available here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.c.5325401
