Description
Quantifiers are words that refer to a quantity of something. In English, we have words like "no," "some," "all," and "both." 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, many. Peters and Westerstahl present the definitive interdisciplinary exploration of how they work - their syntax, semantics, and inferential role.
