These issues all represent semantic parallels and interactions between individual quantifiers (every, some, etc.) and degree quantifiers (more, most, numerals, etc.) in the expression of quantity and measurement. The contributions presented here advance the analytical depth and cross-linguistic breadth of the state of the art in semantics and its interface with syntax in human language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables    1 Introduction   Peter Hallman    2 Indeterminate Numerals and Their Alternatives   Curt Anderson    3 The Semantics of the Superlative Quantifier -Est   Barbara Tomaszewicz-Özakın    4 Quantification, Degrees and Beyond in Navajo   Elizabeth Bogal-Allbritten and Elizabeth Coppock    5 Separate but Equal: A Typology of Equative Constructions   Jessica Rett    6 Compounded Scales   Alan Bale    7 From Possible Individuals to Scalar Segments   Roger Schwarzschild    8 Measuring Cardinalities: Evidence from Differential Comparatives in French   Vincent Homer and Rajesh Bhatt    9 Quantifying Events and Activities   Haley Farkas and Alexis Wellwood    10 Split Semantics for Non-monotonic Quantifiers in Than-Clauses   Linmin Zhang    11 Nominal Quantifiers in Than Clauses and Degree Questions   Nicholas Fleisher    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535925444951,"sku":"9789004431119","price":156.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/interactions-of-degree-and-quantification-9789004431119","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
