This paper is an attempt to develop a strictly derivationalist version of Chomsky's Minimalist Theory integrating theta roles and quantifier scoping without referring to a LF level. It is assumed different readings of a same sentence are obtained by various evaluation strategies, in a calculus which integrates a non deterministic version of lambda mu calculus
