Description
Quantifiers are words that refer to a certain quantity of something. In English, these words include "no," "some," "all," "both," and "many." This book explores how these words work syntactically, semantically, and inferentially.
Quantification is a topic which brings together linguistics, logic, and philosophy. Quantifiers are the essential tools with which, in language or logic, we refer to quantity of things or amount of stuff. In English they include such expressions as
no,
some,
all,
both, and
many. Peters and Westerstahl present the definitive interdisciplinary exploration of how they work--their syntax, semantics, and inferential role.
