(1) There are some kinds of relative clauses in which a quantifier or other operator binds the relative especially tightly to the interpretation of the syntactic head, e.g. u2018the only thing that trumps fear is greedu2019.(2) And here the variable u2018xu2019 is bound by the quantifier outside the scope of u2018believesu2026 u2019, and u2018au2019 is a name for x which may or may not be a name which S knows.(3) A discussion of grounding involves examining the role of determiners and quantifiers , and other aspects of the noun phrase.(4) In order to avoid confusion between the objectual and substitutional interpretations of the quantifiers , I shall use u2018pu2019 to designate the universal substitutional quantifier.(5) Frege was the first to attempt to transcribe the old statements of categorical logic in a language employing variables, quantifiers and truth-functions.(6) Some words and phrases used as quantifiers can also be used as intensifiers, as in: much nicer; much less; many more; a little better; a lot older; a lot too old; a bit too much.(7) Sentences containing multiple quantifiers are known to give rise to several interpretations.(8) The epsilon operator is a term-forming operator which replaces quantifiers in ordinary predicate logic.(9) The questionnaire included examples of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and u2018closed-classu2019 words - pronouns, question words, prepositions and articles, and quantifiers .(10) For proving injectivity and surjectivity of functions, Ward had stressed how a proof strategy could be outlined by simply looking at the quantifiers in the definitions.
