Uli Sauerland and Stephanie Solt. The Proper Use of Quantification in Ordinary Language (PUQOL)

Despite 40 years of research on quantification, quantification is currently again a central topic of research at the interface between logic and language. Generalized Quantifier theory and Discourse Representation Theory still are standard bearers when it comes to the representation of quantifier meaning.  But a new frontier in quantification research is to account for the use of quantifiers, in addition to the meaning quantifiers contribute to sentence and discourse.  The PUQOL workshop aims to bring together current research on quantification within semantics, logic, pragmatics, and cognitive science that addresses quantifier use within the perspective of model theoretic semantics and pragmatics.
