Games, quantification and discourse structure
pp. 139-150
Abstract
Quantifiers in natural language contribute both to the truth conditions of a sentence and to the discourse in which the sentence occurs. While a great deal of attention has been paid to truth conditions, the contributions of quantifiers to the discourse have been little studied. This paper seeks to rectify this by developing a set of game rules that account both for the truth conditional and the discourse contributions of quantified expressions.
