Floating quantifiers should not float from definite NPs

先生が学生を鞭で３人打った。 AMBIGUOUS --- could be 3 teachers or students
先生が彼らを鞭で３人打った。 ONLY 3 teachers

So we need floating quantifiers to say the thing they modify is indefinite (or cog-status ?).

犬が７匹吠える INDEF
７匹の犬が吠える UDEF (not specified, probably more likely to be definite)

The solution is to mark the cognitive status on the index of the referential object, not just rely on (u)def_q_rel --- incidentally we can maybe get rid of all these pesky quantifiers (and add them with a fix-up rule for those who like their semantics well formed).

Thanks to 中澤 sensei.
