  Classical scope-assignment strategies for multi-quantifier sentences involve
quantifier phrase (QP)-movement. More recent continuation-based approaches
provide a compelling alternative, for they interpret QP's in situ - without
resorting to Logical Forms or any structures beyond the overt syntax. The
continuation-based strategies can be divided into two groups: those that locate
the source of scope-ambiguity in the rules of semantic composition and those
that attribute it to the lexical entries for the quantifier words. In this
paper, we focus on the former operation-based approaches and the nature of the
semantic operations involved. More specifically, we discuss three such possible
operation-based strategies for multi-quantifier sentences, together with their
relative merits and costs.
