TL;DR: The word quantifier comes from the latin quantitas (quantity) as contrasted with qualitas (quality) as mentioned in this paper, which does not mean that the notion of quantifier is understood as an arithmetical concept.

Abstract: The word quantifier comes from the latin quantitas (quantity) as contrasted with qualitas (quality). This intuition does not mean that the notion of quantifier is understood as an arithmetical concept. We understand quantifiers rather as qualifiers for distributive concepts (such as countable nouns) unlike those applicable to nondistributive concepts.

Computational Semantics for Monadic Quantifiers
TL;DR: A new result characterizing monadic quantifiers recognized by push down automata is proven, and some of these results are simple reinterpretations of descriptive-feasible correspondence theorems from finite-model theory.
Higher-Order Logic
Johan van Benthem,Kees Doets +1 more
- 01 Jan 2001
TL;DR: First-order logic was a modest fragment of the more ambitious language employed in the logicist program of Frege and Russell as discussed by the authors, which became a stable base for logical theory by 1930, when its interesting and fruitful meta-properties had become clear, such as completeness, compactness and Lowenheim-Skolem.

Generalized quantifiers and natural language
TL;DR: Most of this work has been directed toward cardinality quantifiers and topological quantifiers which are not particularly relevant to natural language, but even so, it has forced logicians to rethink the traditional theory of quantification as discussed by the authors.
