Quantification has been at the heart of research in the syntax and
semantics of natural language since Aristotle. The last few decades
have seen an explosion of detailed studies of the syntax and
semantics of quantification and its relation to the rest of the
theory of grammar, resulting in a highly sophisticated
understanding of the mechanisms of quantification. This book
considers the ways natural languages vary with respect to their
realisation of quantificational notions. Drawing on data from
English, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Hausa and others, the
authors also link the variation in the expression of quantification
to the notions of polarity sensitivity, free-choice and
indefiniteness.
