本文提出了一些论点，反对数量量化的名词短语（NQNPs）的单方面帐户和双边帐户的这种表达。本文认为，当NQNP至少引起阅读时，这是两种语用推理形式之一的结果。为此，本文开发了一个独立的动机帐户的特异性和存在封闭涉及对角化。
This paper presents some arguments against a unilateral account of numerically quantified noun phrases (NQNPs) and for a bilateral account of such expressions. It is proposed that where NQNP give rise to at least readings, this is the result of one of the two forms of pragmatic reasoning. To that end, the paper develops an independently motivated account of specificity and existential closure involving diagonalization.
