Importing Montagovian Dynamics into Minimalism

Minimalist analyses typically treat quantifier scope interactions as being due to movement, thereby bringing constraints thereupon into the purview of the grammar. Here we adapt De Groote's continuation-based presentation of dynamic semantics to minimalist grammars. This allows for a simple and simply typed compositional interpretation scheme for minimalism.
