The study presented in this book aimed to test the argument
structure of ditransitive verbs in Polish with the use of
quantifier scope interpretation. Since these verbs typically allow
for relatively free object order, it is not clear whether any of
the object orders is basic or if they constitute separate
underlying structures. The study reports the results of five
experiments testing acceptability of scope interpretation of Polish
quantified objects in two object orders, using variables such as
coordination, to reveal which scope changing mechanism is
responsible for ambiguity. The results showed that only the DO-IO
order allowed for scope ambiguity, however, to a different degree
depending on the semantic class of the verb. This indicates that
the merge position of objects is contingent upon that factor.
