Title: Chung-chieh Shan

Main Research Question: How can delimited continuations, a concept from programming languages, be used to analyze natural language phenomena like quantification and polarity sensitivity?

Methodology: The author proposes using a logical meta-language with syntax that includes control operators and semantics that involve evaluation order. This allows for the expression of analyses in a direct style, rather than using continuation-passing style.

Results: The author demonstrates how delimited continuations can be used to analyze natural language phenomena such as quantification and polarity sensitivity. They provide examples and explanations to illustrate how these concepts can be applied.

Implications: This research suggests that delimited continuations, a concept from programming languages, can provide a new perspective on natural language semantics. It may lead to new insights and theories about how language works and how it can be processed and understood by computers.
