This article presents a reading-time study of scope resolution in the interpretation of ambiguous cardinality interrogatives in English-French and in English and French native sentece processing. Participants were presented with a context, a self-paced segment-by-segment presentation of caridnality interrogative, and a numerical answer that respondents either accepted or rejected. Very narrowly distributed and interpretation-dependent processing and in French and English native processing. A reading-time asymmetries produced by English-French native respondents. In contrast, a context-driven theory of scope resolution encounters many severe problems that render its plausibility exceedingly remote.
