Keywords:
Huang (Asian studies and Chinese and linguistics, Haverford College, Pennsylvania) explores the formal definition of universal quantification, arguing that the formal definition of EVERY, which stands for any distributive universal quantifier, ought to incorporate a skolem function to capture the paired reading that for every x there is a y, which is present in all universal quantifier sentences. The revised definition of EVERY requires a variable in the scope of the universal quantifier word, she says, because the skolem function facilitates the paired reading by linking the choice of the value for y with the choice of the value for x. Her evidence is mainly from Chinese but also to some extent from English. The study is based on her 1996 doctoral dissertation in linguistics for the University of Pennsylvania.
