Abstract:

Covering a strikingly diverse range of languages from 12 linguistic families, this 
handbook is based on responses to a questionnaire constructed by the editors. 
Focusing on the formation, distribution and semantic interpretation of 
quantificational expressions, the book explores 17 languages including German, 
Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Malagasy, Hebrew, Pima, Basque, and 
more. The language data sets enable detailed crosslinguistic comparison of 
numerous features. These include semantic classes of quantifiers (generalized 
existential, generalized universal, proportional, partitive), syntactically complex 
quantifiers (intensive modification, Boolean compounding, exception phrases) 
and several others such as quantifier scope ambiguities, quantifier float, and 
binary quantifiers. Its theory-independent content extends earlier work by 
Matthewson (2008) and Bach et al. (1995), making this handbook suitable for 
linguists, semanticians, philosophers of language and logicians alike.
