We demonstrate how to parse Geach's Donkey sentences in a compositional distributional model of meaning. We build on previous work on the DisCoCat (Distributional Compositional Categorical) framework, including extensions that model discourse, determiners, and relative pronouns. We present a type-logical syntax for parsing donkey sentences, for which we define both relational and vector space semantics.
