Abstract
This paper considers how the interaction of quantification and dependent anaphora may be analysed in a dynamic semantics. It discusses a simple theory of the creation and accessibility of dependencies based on a dynamic semantics for distributivity and some basic assumptions on number agreement in discourse. This theory forms a partial defence of the line of semantics set out by van den Berg 1996. I argue, however, that it is essential to quantified anaphora to contextualise the labelling of antecedents. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
