abstract = {In this paper several scope asymmetries in VP ellipsis constructions in
English and Spanish are studied. It is argued that an approach based on
Fox' (1995 a,b) Ellipsis Scope Generalization faces numerous conceptual
and empirical problems. Ellipsis resolution is conceived of as a phenomenon
belonging to the conceptual-intentional pan of the computational system
that is conditioned by the computation of the semantic features of quantifiers
at LF. A semantic approach inspired in higher order unification theories
of ellipsis is defended. This approach is compatible with the overall
philosophy of minimalist grammar: the process of higher-order unification
complies with the principle of inclusiveness (Chomsk-y. 19 or projection
from the lexicon because the relevant semantic equations are set up and
resolved at a discourse level, but they are determined by featuresensitive
Logical Forms.},
