Someone loves everyone. Everyone loves someone. John assigned one student every problem. John praised one student every day. The correctness of linear order aside, I do want to embrace the processing nature of the argument.
Every man loves a woman.
Everyone was arrested by a woman. In English, passives are ambiguous and actives are slightly ambiguous, and in Chinese, passives are ambiguous and actives are apparently not ambiguous at all. I have absolutely no data about the wide-scope tendencies of quantifier terms in Chinese, and so this suggestion is truly speculative. In sum, I have suggested that in using judgments of ambiguity as a reflection of the nature of the grammar, linguists should not overlook the contribution of ambiguity resolution processes that are part of language comprehension. The mental representation of quantifiers.
