"text": "The specification of an interoperable scheme for the semantic annotation of quantification phenomena in natural language has for some time been on the agenda for extending the ISO Semantic Annotation Framework. After preliminary studies, reported in Bunt (2017) , Bunt et al. (2018) , and Bunt (2019a), a concrete proposal for developing the specification of such a scheme, supported by a first 'working draft' (ISO/WD 24617-12), was adopted by the ISO organisation. This paper describes the current state of developing the proposed specification, elaborating the WD 24617-12 working draft. Although this work is still in a preliminary stage, the current state of the specification covers a fairly wide range of aspects and forms of quantification, including collective, cumulative, and group quantification, quantification over events, exhaustive quantification, negative-polarity quantification, quantified possessives, various forms of mass noun quantification, quantification involving parts of individuals, and quantification over complex domains including the use of quantifying modifiers with inverse linking. We refer to this annotation scheme under development by the name of its markup language, QuantML. The interest in developing a semantic annotation scheme for quantification is twofold. First, there is the ubiquitous character of quantification in natural language. Quantification occurs when a predicate is applied to one or more sets of arguments. Since this happens in every clause when a verb is combined with its arguments (except perhaps in extremely simple sentences like \"John loves Mary\", if proper names are regarded as referring expressions), quantification occurs in virtually every sentence. Quantification is moreover the most important source of structural ambiguity. Accurate question answering, information extraction, advice giving, negotiation, and other applications that rely on deep language understanding therefore struggle with the interpretation problems caused by quantification. Second, the ISO Semantic Annotation Framework (ISO 24617, 'Se-mAF') has parts for annotating temporal and spatial information, events, semantic roles, discourse relations, dia-logue acts, and coreference relations, which together span a substantial range of semantic aspects of spoken and written language, but quantification forms a big gap in this range. Filling this gap would greatly enhance the coverage of Se-mAF. Assuming that a semantic representation of a natural language (NL) expression is understood to be a formal expression that has a single well-defined interpretation corresponding to a possible meaning of the NL expression, a semantic annotation is somewhere in between a 'raw' NL expression and a semantic representation. A semantic annotation adds information to the annotated NL expression about its indented interpretation. In the simplest case, a semantic annotation identifies exactly one interpretation of the annotated NL expression, and thus corresponds to a single semantic representation, but in practice the situation is more complicated. First, semantic annotations are typically constraints on the possible interpretations, selecting a subset of its possible meanings rather than a single specific interpretation. Second, semantic representations do not necessarily carve out just one possible meaning. In fact, the pervasive ambiguity of quantifier scopes in NL expressions has prompted the definition of formalisms for underspecified semantic representations, thus blurring the distinction between semantic annotations and representations somewhat. Still, in practice the two are very different in two respects:",

"text": "The various parts of the ISO Semantic Annotation Framework each deal with a certain type of semantic information, and thus with a certain type of constraints on semantic interpretation. Each of these parts defines an annotation scheme for the kind of information that it deals with, with the aim of specifying information that disambiguates an NL expression in that respect, such as which semantic role is played by an NP, or how is an anaphoric expression referentially related to which antecedent. Quantification is the most important source of structural ambiguity in natural language, and the annotation of the quantifications in an NL expression aims at disambiguating NL expressions in that respect. The main challenge in developing an annotation scheme for quantification is to identify a limited number of categories of information that is sufficient for characterising aspects, forms and uses of quantification that are found in natural language, and to define the combinations of these categories that form meaningful building blocks in annotations. Annotations should be constructed in accordance with the methodological principles laid out in ISO standard 24617-6 (Principles of semantic annotation), which means that the annotations should have an abstract and a concrete syntax, related through an encoding function (from abstract to concrete) and an inverse decoding function, and a semantics defined for the abstract syntax (and inherited by any concrete encoding). Annotations should moreover be in stand-off format. The use of stand-off formats is motivated primarily by the consideration that the integrity of the primary data should always be respected, and has the methodological advantage that the pointers from elements in an annotation to elements in the primary data ('markables'), formalise the relation between annotation structures and linguistic elements, making explicit that the semantic annotation of an NL expression is not a stand-alone object, but is formally attached to NL elements.",

"text": "Quantification is linguistically, logically, and computationally extremely complex, and has been studied for centuries by logicians, linguists, formal semanticists, and computational linguists (e.g. Aristotle, 4th century B.C., Frege, 1879; Montague, 1974 ; Barwise and Cooper, 1981; Westerst\u00e5hl, 1985; Keenan and Stavi, 1986; Hobbs and Shieber, 1987; Partee, 1988; Cooper, 1983; Kamp and Reyle, 1993; Bos, 1995; Westerst\u00e5hl, 2006, Szabolcsi, 2010; Ruys and Winter, 2011, Champollion, 2015; Coppock and Beaver, 2015) . Mostowski (1957) and Lindstr\u00f6m (1966) noted that the universal and the existential quantifier, as used in predicate logic, can be viewed as expressing properties of sets of individual objects, involved in a predication: the universal quantifier expresses the property of containing all the elements of a given domain; the existential quantifier the property of containing at least one such element. This opened the way to generalise the notion of a quantifier to other properties of sets, such as the property of containing more than three elements, or of containing most of the elements of the quantification domain. The concepts in this broader class of quantifiers are called 'generalised quantifiers'. The study of how generalised quantifiers are used and expressed in natural language has led to generalised quantifier theory (GQT, Barwise and Cooper, 1981) . An important point in this theory is that there is a fundamental difference between quantification in natural language and quantification in logic in the following sense. Words like \"all\" and \"some\" in English, as well as their equivalents in other languages, may seem to be the counterparts of the universal (\u2200 'for all') and existential (\u2203, 'for some' quantifiers of formal logic, and so-called 'cardinal quantifiers and 'proportional quantifiers' like \"three\", and \"most\", may seem to be the counterparts of certain generalised quantifiers, but they are not. In formal logic, if p is a formula that denotes a proposition then the expressions '\u2200x.p' and '\u2203y.p' are quantifications, saying that p is true of all individual objects and that p is true of at least one such object, respectively. Such quantifications, which range over all individual objects in a universe of discourse, cannot be expressed in natural languages. Quantifying expressions in natural languages, instead, like \"all students\", \"quelques gens\", and \"mais que cinco melodias\", include the indication of a restricted domain. This is reflected in the view that quantifiers in natural language are not determiners like \"all\" and \"some\", but noun phrases ( Barwise and Cooper, 1981) . The QuantML annotation scheme takes an approach which combines generalized quantifier theory with the neo-Davidsonian event-based approach.",

"text": "Abzianidze & Bos (2019) note that neo-Davidsonian event semantics is adopted in most if not all semantically annotated corpora. Davidson (1989) introduced events as individual objects into semantic representations, notably as an extra argument of predicates that correspond to verbs, as in 'read(e, x, y)'. In a variation of this approach, known as 'neo-Davidsonian' (Dowty, 1989; Parsons, 1990 ) the number of arguments of verb-related predicates is not increased, but instead one-place predicates are applied to existentially quantified event variables, and thematic roles, a.k.a. semantic roles, are used to represent the roles of the participants in events, as in 'read(e), agent(e,x), theme(e,y)'. QuantML combines GQT with neo-Davidsonian event semantics. This has two advantages: it allows a treatment of adverbial temporal quantifiers such as \"twice\", \"more than three times\", \"daily\", and \"twice an hour\", and it is convenient since this approach is also taken in other parts of SemAF. Using a neo-Davidsonian approach implies the use of an inventory of semantic roles. For reasons of intra-SemAF compatibility and in line with the recommendation by Abzianidze & Bos (2019) to use an existing role inventory, QuantML uses the set of roles defined in ISO 24617-4, which is based on the LRICIS and VerbNet inventories (see Bunt & Palmer, 2013; Bonial et al. 2011; Petukhova & Bunt, 2008) .",

"text": "The abstract syntax is a detailed formalization of the metamodel of the annotation scheme. It specifies a store of basic concepts, called the 'conceptual inventory', and it decribes how the elements of the inventory can be used to build wellformed annotation structures in set-theoretical terms, like pairs, triples, and more complex nested structures. Two types of structure are distinguished: entity structures and link structures. An entity structure contains semantic information about a segment of primary data and is formally a pair m, s consisting of a markable, which refers to a segment of primary data, and certain semantic information. A link structure contains information about the way two or more entity structures are semantically related. The most important entity structures in QuantML are those that describe events and their participants, corresponding to the elements <event> and <entity> in XML representations; the most important link structures are those that link participants to events and those that specify quantifier scopes. See for example Figure 1 . The annotation structures defined by the abstract syntax can be represented (or 'encoded') in a variety of ways; XML is the most popular representation format, but other formats, such as attribute-value matrices or annotation graphs would be equally possible (Ide and Bunt, 2010) . The concrete syntax specifies a vocabulary and a class of syntactic structures, such as XML elements, which together define a class of well-formed representations, and an encoding function that assigns such a representation to every well-formed annotation structure. The QuantML semantics has the form of an interpretationby-translation into semantic representations; the recursive interpretation function I Q 'translates' annotation structures to Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs) in a compositional way, compositional in the sense that the interpre-tation of an annotation structure is obtained by combining the interpretations of its component entity structures and link structures. This particular form of the QuantML semantics is a choice of convenience rather than one of principle, inspired by the fact that DRSs have also been used as the semantic basis of several other (ISO) semantic annotation schemes. Other choices, such as the use of Minimal Recursion Semantics (Copestake et al., 2005) could work equally well, and although the compositionality of the semantics seems a desirable feature, not all existing proposals for interpreting quantifiers are compositional (e.g., Robaldo, 2011) . The specification of the QuantML semantics most importantly shows exactly what QuantML annotations mean.",

Domain, definiteness and determinacy Full-fledged noun phrases consist of two parts: (1) one or more determiners of various kinds of (\"all\", \"the\", \"a\", \"most\", \"all five\", \"two of his\"), and (2) a nominal head (bare noun or nominal complex). The latter part, called the restrictor, indicates a certain domain that is considered in the quantification. We use the term 'source domain' to refer to the entities denoted by the restrictor. Quantifications are very often restricted to a contextually determined part of the source domain, the 'reference domain', also called 'context set' (Westerst\u00e5hl, 1985; Partee et al., 1990) . For example, the quantifier \"every student\" typically does not apply to literally every person who is a student, but only to the students in a particular class or school. The definiteness of an NP is often an indication that the reference domain of the quantification is a specific part of the source domain, rather than the entire source domain. In English and in many other languages the determiner part of an NP is a prenominal sequence of determiners of different types. Grammars commonly distinguish different classes of determiners, with different possible sequencing and co-occurrence restrictions.

The semantic difference between definite and indefinite expressions has been discussed in terms of familiarity, novelty, salience, uniqueness, and existence presuppositions. In QuantML the view is taken that definiteness is an indication of determinacy, interpreted as restricting a quantification to a reference domain that is somehow constrained through considerations of familiarity and salience, but that this can be overruled by contextual information.

"text": "The occurrence of a cardinal determiner in focus relates also to the much debated issue whether a determiner (or a numeral) like \"two\" should be interpreted as \"exactly two\", as \"two or more\", or as \"at most two\". Consider the following examples: The standard GQT interpretation of quantifiers of the form \"two N\" is the property of being a set that contains two Ns. So for example, in DRT (Kamp and Reyle, 1993) sentence (3.3.a) is interpreted as claiming the existence of a set X containing two growling dogs. Now suppose there are in fact three growling dogs -in that case it is also true that there are two growling dogs. So \"two\" in (3.3.a) is in fact interpreted as 'two or more'. This seems reasonable for sentence (3.3.a). For sentence (3.3.b), uttered in a context where the speaker is examining a remote control with two apparently flat batteries, this is the only reasonable interpretation. But in (3.3.c) the answer to the question licences the inference that Mary does not have more than two children or less than two children, so in this case \"two\" means 'exactly two'. It is widely assumed (e.g. Partee, 1988; Kamp and Reyle, 1993; Krifka, 1999 ) that the numeral \"two\" indicates that the cardinality of the set (or individual sum) denoted by the NP that it modifies is exactly 2, but that the generalized quantifier \"two N\" is interpreted in some contexts as \"at least two N' and in others as \"exactly two N', due to context-specific (Gricean) pragmatic inferences -see Kadmon (2001) . Quantifier readings of the type \"exactly two N\" are called 'exhaustive', and can be thought of as generated by a covert operator, an 'exhaustivizer', that could be lexicalized as \"only\" (see Szabolcsi, 2010) . In (3.3.), replacing \"two\" by \"only two\" in case a and case c enforces or reinforces the 'exactly two' reading, whereas in case b the replacement would be distinctly odd. Similar issues arise when \"two\" forms part of a monotone-decreasing Markables: m1 = \"Each machine\", m2 = \"machine\", m3 = \"assembles\", m4 = \"more than fifty parts\", m5 = \"parts\" QuantML annotation representation: <entity xml:id=\"x1\" target=\"#m1\" domain=\"#x2\" involvement=\"all\" definiteness=\"det\"/> <sourceDomain xml:id=\"x2\" target=\"#m2\" pred=\"machine\" indiv=\"count\"/> <event xml:id=\"e1\" target=\"#m3\" pred=\"assemble\"/> <entity xml:id=\"x3\" target=\"#m4\" domain=\"#x2\" involvement=\">50\" definiteness=\"indet'/> <sourceDomain xml:id=\"x4\" target=\"#m5\" pred=\"part\" indiv=\"count\"/> <participation event=\"#e1\" participant=\"#x1\" semRole=\"agent\" distr=\"individual\" eventScope=\"narrow\"/> <participation event=\"#e1\" participant=\"#x3\" semRole=\"agent\" distr=\"collective\" eventScope=\"wide\"/> <scoping arg1=\"#x1\" arg2=\"#x3\" scopeRel=\"wider\"/> Figure 1 : Annotation of group quantification quantifier, as in (3.3.d), which is inherently exhaustive.

A universal mass noun quantification of the form \"all the M\" does not necessarily refer to all the quantities of M. A detailed analysis of mass noun quantification can be found in Bunt (1985) , where elements from lattice theory and set theory are formally integrated. Quantities are analysed as having a part-whole structure (just like sets), defining a sum operation \u03a3 such that the sum of two quantities of M forms another quantity of M. One interpretation of expressions of the form \"all the M\" is as referring to a set X of quantities of M that together make up the reference domain M 0 , in the sense that their sum equals the sum of all quantities in the reference domain: \u03a3(X) = \u03a3(M 0 ). Since mass nouns do not individuate their reference (Quine, 1960) , quantification by mass NPs would seem not to allow individual distribution.

In (3.5.c) the boys did not carry every quantity of sand, but certain quantities that together make up \"all the sand\"; in this case the distribution is called unspecific. These examples illustrate three different ways in which the quantification domain of a mass NP can be completely involved in a predication, corresponding to three different senses of expressions of the form \"all M\" (or \"all the M\") in English, and similarly in other languages. Complete involvement with homogeneous distribution, as in (3.5.a), where \"all the water\" quantifies over the set of all contextually distinguished quantities of water, is annotated with the @involvement attribute having the value \"all\". In cases like (3.5.c), where \"all the sand\" refers to a subset of quantities of sand that together make up all the (contextually distinguished) sand -the @involvement attribute has the value \"total\".

"text": "The QuantML semantics specifies a recursive interpretation function I Q that translates annotation structures into DRSs in a compositional way: the interpretation of an annotation structure is obtained by combining the interpretations of its component entity structures and participation link structures, in a way that is determined by scope link structures (if any). For a full specification of the QuantML semantics see Bunt (2019c) . Here we outline the overall approach and present some interesting parts of the definition of I Q . The QuantML interpretation function translates every participant entity structure, event entity structure, and participation link structure into a DRS and combines these. Consider the example in (4.). The entity structures for \"More than two thousand students\", and \"protested\" are translated into the DRSs shown in (4.)b and c. For the participant entity structure this is achieved by applying an instance of clause (4.a) in the I Q definition, which interprets entity structures with source domain D, individuation v, involvement q, and definiteness indef. The interpretation q of domain involvement specification q is defined in (4.b-c), and that of the domain specification in (4.d-e). The DRS in (4.b) says that there exists a set with the property of containing two thousand students, reflecting the GQT approach to NP interpretation. The DRS in (4.c) together with (4.) illustrates the adoption of neo-Davidsonian event semantics. The participation link structure has in this example the form E , { P 1 }, R, d, \u03be, \u03c3, p , where E and P 1 are the participant and event entity structures that are linked in the Agent role (R = Agent), with d = collective, \u03be = non-exhaustive, \u03c3 (event scope) = narrow, and p (polarity) = positive. The semantic interpretation of such a structure is defined as follows, where '\u222a' designates the familiar merge operation for DRSs: ",

A quantified set of participants is characterized by the following properties:\u2022 the source domain, from which the participants are drawn, and its individuation;\u2022 the reference domain, typically a subset of the source domain; \u2022 the quantitative (absolute or proportional) involvement of the reference domain; \u2022 the size of the reference domain, or of groups, subsets, or parts of the reference domain involved in the quantified predication.The entity structure m, s for a set of participants thus contains a triple s = D, v , q, d with D = characteristic domain predicate, v = individuation, q = reference domain involvement, and d = determinacy, with possibly an additional size specification. The domain component is more complex when the restrictor of an NP contains head noun modifiers and/or multiple, conjoined heads (see Bunt 2018 for details). Entity structures for sets of events are very simple; they contain just a predicate that characterizes a domain of events. Modifier structures come in five varieties, depending on whether the head noun of an NP is modified by an adjective, noun, PP, relative clause, or possessive restriction. These are not spelled out in Fig. 3 . Two kinds of link structure are defined: participation structures, which link participants to events, and scope link structures. Participation structures are a 7-or 8-tuple, specifying (1) a set of events; (2) a set of participants;(3) a semantic role; (4) a distributivity; (5) the exhaustiveness of the participation; (6) the relative scope of the event quantification; (7) the polarity, which is \"positive\" by default; and possibly (8) a repetitiveness. Scope link structures specify the relative scope of two participant entity structures. Annotation structures for quantification are associated mostly with clauses and their constituent NPs and verbs. The annotation structure for a clause is a quadruple consisting of an event structure, a set of participant structures, a set of participation link structures, and a set of scope link",
