Cover of Stanley Peters & Dag Westerstahl: Quantifiers in Language and Logic (PDF)

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.
