"Some" is used in both ways. --- I 238 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. --- I 236 Quantifiers/Linguistics/Gärdenfors: a cognition-based semantics should be able to say something about the meaning of quantifiers like "all" and "some". --- I 237 Quantifiers/Langacker: (Langacker 2003)(1) Thesis: Expressions like "any cat" function as special cases of terms for fictional objects. 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. --- I 238 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.
