ABSTRACT
This chapter will deal with the semantic types of quantification over domains of alternatives that each of parametric cái, jiù, dōu and yĕ is connected with. It thus concentrates on facts that result from the semantic core of the system proper, and not on its (morpho-)syntactic interactions. For issues relating to such exterior facts, the reader is referred back to ch. 3. The interaction of outer negation with existential or universal quantification over domains of alternatives yields the four classical types of quantification, and each single type of quantification over focus alternatives is associated with one of the words examined.
