Abstract
Research in logical semantics of natural language has extensively studied the functions denoted by expressions like each other, one another or mutually. The common analysis takes such reciprocal expressions to denote 〈1, 2 〉 generalized quantifiers over a given domain E, i.e. relations between subsets of E and binary relations over E. One of the reoccurring problems has been that reciprocal expressions seem to denote different quantifiers in different sentences.
