| Citazioni | […] quantifiers may be divided into different types, along the dimension of:
(i) Absolute/Relative:
Absolute quantifiers define the size of an
ensemble in absolute terms; relative quantifiers do
not inform us about the absolute size, but
compare the size to some explicit standard of
comparison, or to some implicit standard (a tacitly
assumed “norm”). |
