6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> It has been shown that, although quantifier scope is usually read off surface word order in German, ambiguities can arise from movement of weak quantifiers. We have developed an MCTAG analysis using traces. In our approach, the scope possibilities of a quantifier are characterized in terms of its minimal scope. In contrast to English, MINS in German is not global but depends on the po- null in (10) sition of the quantifier. The minimal scope of weak and strong quantifiers is determined differently: The minimal scope of a moved weak quantifier depends on its trace; the minimal scope of a moved strong quantifier depends on the position of the moved material.</Paragraph>
