Modal Quantification over Structured Domains

  • Chapter
Advances in Intensional Logic

Part of the book series: Applied Logic Series ((APLS,volume 7))

The semantics for quantifiers described in this paper can be viewed both as a new semantics for generalized quantifiers and as a new look at standard first-order quantification, bringing the latter closer to modal logic.
