A semantic constraint on binary determiners
نویسنده
چکیده
A type 〈1, 1〉 quantifier F is symmetric iff F (X, X)(Y ) = F (Y, Y )(X). It is shown that quantifiers denoted by irreducible binary determiners in natural languages are both conservative and symmetric and not only

Determiners: A Relational Perspective
In this paper we examine from a semantic point of view a class of expressions variously referred to as determiners, quantifiers, or articles. Our treatment of the meaning of these expressions reflects an idea which has its origin in the work of Montague (1970), Lewis (1972), Geach (1972), and Cresswell (1973): determiners are to be interpreted as two-place relations between sets of individuals....
متن کاملA semantic reanalysis of the partitive constraint * Helen
In this article a semantic reanalysis of the Partitive Constraint is given that is based on a distinction between determiners that quantify over entities and determiners that quantify over sets of entities. This leads to a straightforward analysis of problems that arose within earlier analyses of the Partitive Constraint. The reformulated Partitive Constraint simply states that NPs that are all...
متن کاملOn the semantics of determiners in a rich type-theoretical framework (Sémantique des déterminants dans un cadre richement typé) [in French]
On the semantics of determiners in a rich type-theoretical framework The variation of word meaning according to the context led us to enrich the type system of our syntactical and semantic analyser of French based on categorial grammars and Montague semantics (or lambda-DRT). The main advantage of a deep semantic analyse is too represent meaning by logical formulae that can be easily used e.g. ...

متن کاملGenerating English plural determiners from semantic representations: a neural network learning approach
In this paper, we present a model of grammatical category formation, applied to English plural determiners. We have identiied a set of semantic features for the description of relevant meanings of plural deeniteness. A small training set (30 sentences) was created by linguistic criteria, and a functional mapping from the semantic feature representation to the overt category of indeenite/deenite...
