Abstract:

This volume presents the results of psycholinguistic research into various
aspects of the grammar of quantification. The investigations involve children
and adults, speakers of different languages, using a variety of experimental
paradigms. A shared aspect of the studies is that they present their
experimental results as evidence evaluating linguistic theories of
quantification. Topics discussed include the interpretation of universal,
comparative, and superlative quantifiers, quantifier spreading, scope
interaction between pairs of quantifiers and between quantifiers and
wh-phrases, distributivity and cumulativity, the interaction of quantifier
interpretation with information structure, the disambiguating role of prosody,
the functional overlap between universal quantification and perfectivity, and
much more. The focus on experimental evidence makes this book essential
reading for linguists (syntacticians, semanticists and pragmatists),
psycholinguists and psychologists interested in quantification.
