HD recommended. 30-min split-screen talk. Relevant to semanticists and philosophers of language who would like to know the extent to which a commitment to events favors various analyses of scope-taking expressions such as quantifiers, negation and conjunction. For more, see the companion paper in Linguistics & Philosophy, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10988-014-9162-8.
