This volume contains a collection of research papers centered
around the concept of quantifier. Recently this concept has become
the central point of research in logic. It is one of the important
logical concepts whose exact domain and applications have so far
been insufficiently explored, especially in the area of inferential
and semantic properties of languages. It should thus remain the
central point of research in the future. Moreover, during the last
twenty years generalized quantifiers and logical technics based on
them have proved their utility in various applications. The example
of natu rallanguage semantics has been partcularly striking. For a
long time it has been belived that elementary logic also called
first-order logic was an ade quate theory of logical forms of
natural language sentences. Recently it has been accepted that
semantics of many natural language constructions can not be
properly represented in elementary logic. It has turned out,
however, that they can be described by means of generalized
quantifiers. As far as computational applications oflogic are
concerned, particulary interesting are semantics restricted to
finite models. Under this restriction elementary logic looses
several of its advantages such as axiomatizability and compactness.
And for various purposes we can use equally well some semantically
richer languages of which generalized quantifiers offer the most
universal methods of describing extensions of elementary logic.
Moreover we can look at generalized quantifiers as an explication
of some specific mathematical concepts, e. g."
