<p>Thanks. I should have added that the kind of classification I am
looking for concerns only that one parameter. It is true that
there are more parameters: Classifiers may have pronominal
features like 'interrogative' or 'demonstrative'. And, of course,
they belong to different word classes in different languages.</p>

<div>Thank you for this interesting question. In my eyes, there
might be the need for additional categories for certain
interrogatives and demonstratives that behave like numerals or
other quantifiers (how/so many, how/so much, etc.).</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> [Lingtyp] types of quantification</div>
<div name="quoted-content">
<p>In some languages, numerals have the same
distribution as quantifiers like 'some' or 'many'.
From a functional point of view, too, for instance in
view of the approximative numerals discussed last
week, it makes sense to subsume the use of numerals
under quantification. Then one might subdivide the
field of quantification roughly as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Numeral quantification: 'one', 'two' ...</li>
<li>Non-numeral quantification</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<ol type="a">
<li>Universal: 'all', 'every'</li>
<li>Existential: 'some'</li>
<li>Sizing: 'many', 'several', '(a) few', ....</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>Two questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has anything concerning such a classification been
published which I should know?</li>
<li>To the extent that the above is reasonable: Any
suggestions for a better terminology?</li>
</ul>
