Something Out of Nothing: The Semantics and Pragmatics of Implicit Quantification

In this book, Ariel Cohen makes the novel proposal that an implicit quantifier isn't simply an empty category, but is generated by well-defined reinterpretation mechanisms. He demonstrates how this theory naturally accounts for puzzling properties of implicit quantification.
