    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→If the distributive reading arises from a covert distributivity operator (D-operator) adjoined to the VP, as argued by Roberts (1987) and Lasersohn (1995), then the ambiguity is VP-level, not conjunction-level, and the supporting argument merely relocates rather than eliminates a structural ambiguity.

    The claim that relocation solves the problem equivocates: structural ambiguity at VP-level is equally problematic as at conjunction-level.
