Abstract:

This work presents the structure, distribution and semantic interpretation of
quantificational expressions in languages from diverse language families and
typological profiles. The current volume pays special attention to
underrepresented languages of different status and endangerment level.
Languages covered include American and Russian Sign Languages, and sixteen
spoken languages from Africa, Australia, Papua, the Americas, and different
parts of Asia. The articles respond to a questionnaire the editors constructed
to enable detailed crosslinguistic comparison of numerous features. They offer
comparable information on semantic classes of quantifiers (generalized
existential, generalized universal, proportional, partitive), syntactically
complex quantifiers (intensive modification, Boolean compounds, exception
phrases, etc.), and several more specific issues such as quantifier scope
ambiguities, floating quantifiers, and binary (type 2) quantifiers. The book
is intended for semanticists, logicians interested in quantification in
natural language, and general linguists as articles are meant to be
descriptive and theory independent. The book continues and expands the
coverage of the Handbook of Quantifiers in Natural Language (2012) by the same
editors, and extends the earlier work in Matthewson (2008), Gil et al. (2013)
and Bach et al (1995).
