Quantifying over Quantifiers [PDF]

Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2003
Abstract We study existential and universal quantification over quantifiers, i.e. quantification where the objects quantified over are Lindstrom quantifiers. First we consider the fragment where only existential quantification over quantifiers is allowed, denoted Σ Q 1 .

Cognitive Processing of Verbal Quantifiers in the Context of Affirmative and Negative Sentences: a Croatian Study [PDF]

, 2016
Studies from English and German have found differences in the processing of affirmative and negative sentences. However, little attention has been given to quantifiers that form negations.

Quantifiers [PDF]

, 2018
Typically the existential and universal quantifiers are regarded as logical expressions. But there are straightforward semantic means for defining all sorts of new quantifiers that have roughly the same syntax as the more familiar quantifiers.

Low-order non-spatial effects dominate second-order spatial effects in the texture quantifier analysis of 18F-FDG-PET images.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundThere is increasing interest in applying image texture quantifiers to assess the intra-tumor heterogeneity observed in FDG-PET images of various cancers.

Monotone Quantifiers [PDF]

, 2008
For quantifiers, being second-order relations, the relevant order for arguments is inclusion, and for values implication, and the general concept of monotonicity applies straightforwardly to quantifiers.

Study on English Translation of Chinese Quantifiers from the Perspective of Cognitive Iconicity: A Pilot Study [PDF]

SHS Web of Conferences
Chinese quantifiers are heavily loaded with Chinese culture, making it challenging to translate them into idiomatic English. The majority of earlier studies only examined linguistically the English translations of Chinese quantifiers.

The relative contributions of frontal and parietal cortex for generalized quantifier comprehension

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Quantifiers, like some or few, are frequent in daily language. Linguists posit at least three distinct classes of quantifiers: cardinal quantifiers that rely on numerosity, majority quantifiers that additionally depend on executive resources, and logical

Towards an Efficient Evaluation of General Queries [PDF]

, 1989
Database applications often require to evaluate queries containing quantifiers or disjunctions, e.g., for handling general integrity constraints. Existing efficient methods for processing quantifiers depart from the relational model as they rely on ...

Some Yoruba quantifier words and semantic interpretation a reply to a critique

Studies in African Linguistics, 1989
The empirical support for Adewole's critique of my paper (in this issue), "Some Yoruba quantifier words and semantic interpretation" [LawaI 1986], comes from a literary text Atoto Arere [Adewole p. 4].

Characterizing polynomial Ramsey quantifiers [PDF]

, 2019
Ramsey quantifiers are a natural object of study not only for logic and computer science but also for the formal semantics of natural language. Restricting attention to finite models leads to the natural question whether all Ramsey quantifiers are either
