    <Paragraph position="0"> In this article, we described the German quantifying noun group in some detail. We proposed a fine-grained, semantically motivated clas- null sification of German quantifying noun groups. We argued that a more sophisticated treatment of these construction types could help improving the treebank considerably. We illustrated the problem of ambiguity between concrete readings and indication-of-quantity-readings as well as the problem of measure arguments or indications of quantity. Moreover, we showed how the latter problem is solved in a corpus-based parsing approach. We outlined some ideas for the refinement of the TIGER annotation scheme in order that it meets requirements in the context of linguistically demanding extraction tasks. We concluded with the presentation of a first experiment using the more fine-grained information for grammar induction.</Paragraph>
