Quantifiers/Langacker/Gärdenfors: (Langacker 2003)(1) Thesis: Expressions like "any cat" function as special cases of terms for fictional objects. These are points in the conceptual space.
Quantifiers/Langacker:
a) proportional quantifiers: e.g. all, most, none
b) representative quantifiers: e.g. each, any. "Some" is used in both ways.

Cognitive treatment of quantifiers/Langacker:
Any: random selection
Every single/each: throughgoing single investigation of the elements
All/every: here it is accepted that an individual examination is not possible. Here a picture is conjured that at the same time is to be overlooked.

Quantifiers/Linguistics/Gärdenfors: a cognition-based semantics should be able to say something about the meaning of quantifiers like "all" and "some".

Gärdenfors: These are points in the conceptual space.
GärdenforsVsLogic: the traditional truth-functional semantics sweeps a set of characteristics of quantifiers with respect to the context under the carpet.
E.g. "Everyone has come" does not mean that all mankind has appeared, but only a context-dependent group of individuals.
Grammar: Problem: the quantifiers function grammatically as singular, although the universal quantifiers relate to all elements of a set.
