A rivalry between operators and quantifiers occurs in many areas of semantics: e.g. tense, modality, locational operators, epistemic modality. There are areas where the operator approach dominates, and areas where quantifiers prevail. Sometimes, as in the case of tense, roles have switched, and where one approach used to dominate, the other has taken over. This volume features contributions from leading experts in the field that examine the following questions:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhat exactly is at stake in a choice between the alternatives?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eare there any principled reasons for deciding which approach to use in which case?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshould we be purists and eliminate one approach completely in favour of the other?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOperators vs Quantifiers \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of philosophy, linguistics, computer science and mathematics.
