Questions About Quantifiers: Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Quantity Processing by the Brain
One approach to understanding how the human cognitive system stores and operates with
quantifiers such as “some,”“many,” and “all” is to investigate their interaction with the …

[HTML][HTML] Computational complexity explains neural differences in quantifier verification
Different classes of quantifiers provably require different verification algorithms with different
complexity profiles. The algorithm for proportional quantifiers, like 'most', is more complex …

Searching for a universal constraint on the possible denotations of clause-embedding predicates
F Roelofsen, W Uegaki - Semantics and linguistic …, 2020 - journals.linguisticsociety.org
We propose a new universal constraint on the relationship between the meaning of a clause-
embedding predicate when it takes an interrogative complement and its meaning when it …

Context, content, and the occasional costs of implicature computation
R Singh - Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The computation of scalar implicatures is sometimes costly relative to basic meanings.
Among the costly computations are those that involve strengthening “some” to “not all” and …
