Reasoning with Quantifiers

Cognition, 2003
In the semantics of natural language, quantification may have received more attention than any other subject, and one of the main topics in psychological studies on deductive reasoning is syllogistic inference, which is just a restricted form of reasoning with quantifiers.

The Quantified Self

Hospital Pharmacy, 2016
Health systems are complex organizations with many moving parts. Ultimately, however, each patient views the health system as a place that should address his or her health needs. Increasingly, patients are bringing more information to the care process, adding complexity and potentially both useful and erroneous input to the process.

Quantifying Commitment

2008
Bratman argued that the purpose of intentions are to constrain the complexity of future decisions. However, the role of intentions in making future commitments is not well understood. In this paper, we propose a methodology to understand how an agent's commitment to its intentions relates to their dynamics.

The Syntax of Quantifiers and Quantifier Float

Linguistic Inquiry, 1999
The Arabic quantifier kull displays a Q___NP and NP___Q alternation. Shlonsky (1991) argues that in both patterns Q heads a QP projection with the NP as a complement that may undergo movement to [Spec, QP] or beyond to yield the NP___Q pattern and Q-float structures.

Sums and quantifiers

Linguistics and Philosophy, 1993
The present article is on the semantics of plural noun phrases. Perhaps the semantics of no category is studied as thoroughly as that of noun phrases. Yet, the resulting theory of generalised quantifiers is mainly developed by disregarding the fact that most noun phrases are plural.

Polyadic quantifiers

Linguistics and Philosophy, 1989
Some aspects of the theory of generalized quantifiers related to linguistics are considered. Syntactically, generalized polyadic quantifiers appear in expressions \(Qx_ 1...x_ n\cdot \phi (x_ 1,...,x_ n)\); this is interpreted set-theoretically as \(\| \phi \| \in Q\).

Bare Quantifiers?

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 2014
AbstractIn a series of publications I have claimed that by contrast to standard formal languages, quantifiers in natural language combine with a general term to form a quantified argument, in which the general term's role is to determine the domain or plurality over which the quantifier ranges.

Embodied Quantifiers

2012
This paper studies how quantificational expressions such as few, three and all can be grounded in real-world perception. Based on findings from psycholinguistics, we propose a computational model designed for use in robot-robot interaction scenarios which involve discrimination tasks for objects in the real world.

The Ambiguity of Quantifiers

Philosophical Studies, 2005
In the tradition of substructural logics, it has been claimed for a long time that conjunction and inclusive disjunction are ambiguous:we should, in fact, distinguish between ‘lattice’ connectives (also called additive or extensional) and ‘group’ connectives (also called multiplicative or intensional).
