ABSTRACT = {Although sloppy interpretation is usually accounted for by theories of ellipsis, it often arises in non-elliptical contexts. In this paper, a theory of sloppy interpretation is provided which captures this fact. The underlying idea is that sloppy interpretation results from a semantic constraint on parallel structures and the theory is shown to predict sloppy readings for deaccented and paycheck sentences as well as relational-, event-, and one-anaphora. It is further shown to capture the interaction of sloppy/strict ambiguity with quantification and binding. Finally, it is compared with other approaches to sloppy identity, in particular (Dalrymple, Shieber and Pereira 1991, Hardt 1996) and (Fiengo and May 1994).},
