Abstract:

Interactions of Degree and Quantification is a collection of chapters edited
by Peter Hallman that deal with superlative, equative and differential
constructions cross-linguistically, interactions of the comparative with both
individual quantifiers and event structure, the use of the individual
quantifier ‘some’ as a numeral, and the question of whether the very notion of
‘degree’ is reducible to a relation between individuals. These issues all
represent semantic parallels and interactions between individual quantifiers (
every, some, etc.) and degree quantifiers ( more, most, numerals, etc.) in the
expression of quantity and measurement. The contributions presented here
advance the analytical depth and cross-linguistic breadth of the state of the
art in semantics and its interface with syntax in human language.
