Ganesalingam in The Language of Mathematics uses Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) where Ranta uses Dependent Type Theory (DTT). My money is still on DTT. Does anyone using DRT in computerised mathematics?
According to Ganesalingam
DRT was developed to handle Geach’s ‘donkey sentences’ (Geach, 1980) and, as we will show in §3.3.1, there are similar sentences in real mathematical texts. We will also be able to adapt DRT to overcome deficiencies noted by Ranta in his own work; see §3.3.2 for details. (p. 15, n6)
DTT claims to do well with donkey sentences too, as I said in the post.
As far as I can see from the preview, one supposed deficiency of DTT is treated in §3.3.6:
Our approach also correctly handles an area which Ranta highlights as a deficiency of his own analysis. He notes that the plural pronoun ‘they’ is sometimes given a distributive reading and sometimes a collective reading; cf.
Nor do we quite understand the use of the plural pronoun They, which is sometimes distributive, paraphrasable by the term conjunction e.g.
If and do not lie outside the line , they are incident on it
but sometimes used on the place of the “surface term conjunction”, so that it fuses together the arguments of the predicate, e.g.
If and do not converge, they are parallel.
(Ranta, 1994, p. 12)
Our analysis correctly distinguishes distributive and collective readings. ‘they’ is always taken to be a pronoun introducing an underlined plural discourse referent, requiring a plural antecedent. The difference in the readings of the two sentences given above is accounted for by the fact that ‘incident on it’ is distributive (as a single point is incident on a single line) and the adjective ‘parallel’ is collective (a single line cannot be parallel, but a collection of lines can). (p. 64)
How very odd. I wonder why Ranta believed this to be difficult for DTT? Suppose we have and suppose we have and all true. Then we would say ‘ and are s. They are . They are .’ if sugared versions allow this, such as when says of two lines that they’re parallel.
Maybe it’s not clear when such a affords the sugaring, ‘They are ’. We wouldn’t do this for an asymmetric relation, such as less than. Certainly many symmetric relations are fine, ‘They are parallel/equal/isometric/homeomorphic’.

So right adjoint to base change:
