Gärdenfors I 237
Quantifiers/Langacker: (Langacker 2003) Thesis: Expressions like "any cat" function as special cases of concepts for fictional objects. These are points in the conceptual space.
>Conceptual space, cf. >Someone.
>Quantifiers/Langacker:
a) proportional quantifiers: e.g. all, most, none.
b) representative quantifiers: e.g. each, any. "Some" is used in both ways.
Cf. >Existential quantification, >Universal quantification, >Quantification.
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 can be overlooked.
>Each/all/every.
