A Study of Quantifiers in Mandarin Chinese.

Lu, John H-T.

Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, v15 n3 p1-23 Oct 1980

Studies, using Mandarin Chinese as a test case: (1) the interaction of syntax and semantics when quantifiers and negatives co-occur; (2) the linear interpretation of quantifiers when the universal and existential quantifiers co-occur; (3) the logical relationship between them; and (4) the basic word order of existential sentences involving quantifiers.
