I do not know whether you are referring to my statement 

> The sentence "A man sees a girl with a red skirt." does have different meanings in English and in ACE.

in a previous message. 

If you do, please note that in ACE the prepositional phrase "with a red skirt" modifies the verb "see", while most English speakers would probably agree that in English ""with a red skirt" modifies the noun phrase "a girl".
