Monotonicity and Collective Quantification
This article studies the monotonicity behavior of plural determiners that quantify over collections. Following previous work, we describe the collective interpretation of determiners such as all, some and most using generalized quantifiers of a higher type that are obtained systematically by applying a type shifting operator to the standard meanings of determiners in Generalized Quantifier Theo...
متن کاملA Remark on Collective Quantification
We consider collective quantification in natural language. For many years the common strategy in formalizing collective quantification has been to define the meanings of collective determiners, quantifying over collections, using certain typeshifting operations. These type-shifting operations, i.e., lifts, define the collective interpretations of determiners systematically from the standard mea...
متن کاملConstraint Programming with Unrestricted Quantification
Search problems occur widely in AI, and a number of generalpurpose constraint-based methods for solving them have been developed. Convenient modelling of many problems is enabled by use of quantifiers of various sorts, but the most prominent approaches support only limited use of quantifiers. A recently proposed constraint programming framework, based on classical logic and the notion of expans...
متن کاملUniversal Quantification in a Constraint-Based Planner
Constraints and universal quantification axe both useful in planning, but handling universally quantified constraints presents some noveI challenges. We present a general approach to proving the validity of universally quantified constraints. The approach essentially consists of checking that the constraint is not violated for all members of the universe. We show that this approach can sometime...
متن کاملOn the Reservation Wages and Liquidity Constraint
This paper argues that a risk averse of workers after-tax reservation wage the difference between her reservation wage and the tax needed to fund the unemployment insurance system when liquidity constraint binds exists and it is unique. The optimality of unemployment insurance based on the responsiveness of reservation wage to unemployment benefit shows the disincentive effect, i.e. higher unem...
