In this paper, we present an analysis of adjunct scope which combines the adjuncts-as-complements analysis with underspecified semantics. By imposing a single constraint on the dependency and argument structure of (verbal) lexical entries, it provides a unified account for the interaction of word order and scope in Dutch for cases involving adjuncts and quantified arguments, adjuncts and verb clusters, and multiple adjuncts.
