Quantifiers in Language and Logic

by Dag Westerstahl, Stanley Peters, Dag Westerståhl

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.
