  The objective of the research project dealt with studying the syntax-semantics interface. It was relying on two alternative approaches of this interface for mCSG: a unification based approach for Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars (LTAG)  [48] , [49] as proposed in  [44] , [51] , and a type-theoretic approach using Abstract Categorial Grammars (ACG) [6] ,  [72] , [73] .

  On the semantic side, the project focused on the modeling of quantification in Frame Semantics  [40] , [31] , [59] . We proposed to use Hybrid Logic (HL)  [27] . We developed a syntax-semantics interface with ACG to model scope ambiguity [18] , as well as a syntax-semantics interface in LTAG for iterative events [23] .
