Abstract

I propose an analysis of indefinites with a bound variable in the nominal restriction, which is based on Schwarzschild’s domain restriction theory. The analysis avoids certain problems of Winter’s Skolem function analysis. In contrast to Schwarzschild, I argue that the domain restriction’s dependency on another quantifier is linguistically specified at LF.
