  We investigate the extent to which compositional vector space models can be
used to account for scope ambiguity in quantified sentences (of the form "Every
man loves some woman"). Such sentences containing two quantifiers introduce two
readings, a direct scope reading and an inverse scope reading. This ambiguity
has been treated in a vector space model using bialgebras by (Hedges and
Sadrzadeh, 2016) and (Sadrzadeh, 2016), though without an explanation of the
mechanism by which the ambiguity arises. We combine a polarised focussed
sequent calculus for the non-associative Lambek calculus NL, as described in
(Moortgat and Moot, 2011), with the vector based approach to quantifier scope
ambiguity. In particular, we establish a procedure for obtaining a vector space
model for quantifier scope ambiguity in a derivational way.
