多项式事件语义是新戴维森语义的一种解释，其中棘手的事件量化问题甚至不会出现。指称是从词汇条目开始严格组合构造的，量词是就地分析的。事件语义的所有优点，特别是关于蕴含的优点，都被保留了。之前的工作仅处理涉及全称、存在和计数量化的正极性短语。我们现在将多项式事件语义扩展到具有否定和负量化的句子，包括副词量化，并伴随着歧义。分析仍然是组合性的，并且不需要假设不存在的实体或事件。
Polynomial event semantics is an interpretation of Neo-Davidsonian semantics in which the thorny event quantification problem does not even arise. Denotations are constructed strictly compositionally, from lexical entries up, and quantifiers are analyzed in situ. All advantages of event semantics, in particular, regarding entailment, are preserved. The previous work has dealt only with positive polarity phrases involving universal, existential and counting quantification.We now extend the polynomial event semantics to sentences with negation and negative quantification, including adverbial quantification, with attendant ambiguities. The analysis remains compositional, and does not require positing of non-existing entities or events.
