Research surveys in linguistics : quantification

It presents different approaches to the same problems, and links modern logic and formal sematics to advances in generative syntax. A unique feature of the book is that it systematically brings cross-linguistic data to bear on the theoretical issues, discussing French, German, Dutch, Hungarian, Russian, Japanese, Telugu (Dravidian), and Shupamen (Grassfield Bantu), and pointing to formal sematic literature involving quatification in around thirty languages.xi, 221 p.: ill.; 23 c
