The dissertation examines ways, in which scope ambiguities of negation and modality are resolved. Two main strategies are identified, the Modal Suppletion Strategy, in which two different modal elements are used, and the Negation Placement Strategy, in which different slots are used for the negation. It is found that these strategies have different impacts for the syntax of the sentence. The results are applied to other areas in which scope plays a role, such as quantifiers and evidentiality.
