5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The above observations imply that only those so-called quantifiers in English which can engender dependency-inducing scope inversion have interpretations corresponding to genuine quantifiers. The others are not quantificationai at all, but are various types of arbitrary individuals translated as Skolem terms. These give the appearance of taking narrow scope when they are bound to truly quantified variables, and of taking wide scope when they are unbound, and therefore &amp;quot;take scope everywhere.&amp;quot; Available readings can be computed monotonically from syntactic derivation alone. The notion of syntactic derivation embodied in CCG is the most powerful limitation on the number of available readings, and allows all logical-form level constraints on scope orderings to be dispensed with, a result related to, but more powerful than, that of Pereira (1990).</Paragraph>
