Abstract:
This paper challenges the fairly established view that semantic effects of
movement (concerning, in particular, scope and opacity) can also arise
without movement, which in turn justifies additional in-situ mechanisms. In
particular, I argue that grammar can derive 'island-violating' semantic
effects concerning scope and opacity via pied-piping, building on Charlow’s
(2019) proposal on island-violating scope of indefinites. Importantly, this
explains exceptional scope and opacity effects in a unified manner, which
is arguably a more parsimonious alternative than invoking distinct
enrichments for exceptional wide scope (e.g. pointwise composition/choice
functions) and exceptional *de re* (e.g. world pronouns).
