QUANTIZATION IN LOGIC

Summary/Abstract: Quantification is a topic that brings together linguistics, logic, and philosophy. Quantifiers are the essential tools with which, in language and logic, referring to quantity of things or amount of stuff. These tools limit the statement or proposition with the quantifiers such as "no", "some", "a few" "all", "both" or "many", etc. However, these quantifiers are words that reveal the amount or boundary of things not exactly, but more or less approximately. Therefore, quantifiers are defined as words that vaguely reveal the amount of examples in the field of discourse. But with this definition, quantifiers are a problem for those who have a scientific interest in handling completely meaning. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate whether quantifiers used in logic indicate a precise quantity; if these quantifiers do not give certain amount, then in what sense does logic, as a means of providing precise information and obtaining truth, concern itself to propositions with probability values bearing these quantifiers? is to search for the answer to the question.
