On Underspecified Processing of Dynamic Semantics

We propose a new inference system which operates on underspecified semantic representations of scope and anaphora. This system exploits anaphoric accessibility conditions from dynamic semantics to disambiguate scope ambiguities if possible. The main feature of the system is that it deals with underspecified descriptions directly, i.e. without enumerating readings.
