Explaining Quantifier Restriction: Reply to Ben-Yami
Logique Et Analyse 55 (217):109-120 (2012)
| Abstract | This is a reply to H. Ben-Yami, 'Generalized quantifiers, and beyond' (this journal, 2009), where he argues that standard GQ theory does not explain why natural language quantifiers have a restricted domain of quantification. I argue, on the other hand, that although GQ theory gives no deep explanation of this fact, it does give a sort of explanation, whereas Ben-Yami's suggested alternative is no improvement. | |||||||||
