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 …

Different classes of quantifiers provably require different verification algorithms with different
complexity profiles. The algorithm for proportional quantifiers, like 'most', is more complex …

According to logical theories of meaning, a meaning of an expression can be formalized and
encoded in truth conditions. Vagueness of the language and individual differences between …

This paper proposes a novel, cognitively motivated theory of natural language quantification
and presents experimental evidence for it. Taking into account recent findings from number …

Formal analysis of the minimal computational complexity of verification algorithms for natural
language quantifiers implies that different classes of quantifiers demand the engagement of …

Quantifiers (eg,“many,”“some,”“at least seven,”“more than half”) are words characterizing
amounts or numerosities by reference to an internal threshold, or degree. For some …

Quantifier expressions like “many” and “at least” are part of a rich repository of words in
language representing magnitude information. The role of numerical processing in …

The paper explores the relationship between intelligence and the semantic processing of
natural language quantifiers. The first study revealed that intelligence is positively …

Our goal in this study was to behaviorally characterize the property (or properties) that
render negative quantifiers more complex in processing compared to their positive …

It is generally assumed that bare numerals (eg, three) have two readings: the exactly and the
at least reading. It has been a matter of debate whether one of these two readings is derived …
