Subject Index.ReviewsReviews for the original edition: I think this book will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the psychology of language and communication and will be very useful for final year students, postgraduates, teachers and researchers in the psychology of language, reasoning and related fields. - Dr Ken Gilhooly, University of Aberdeen, UK Communicating Quantities would be an excellent contribution to third year courses in thinking or language. Academics in these areas will certainly want to read this book and I think that they would usually make it reading for their postgraduates. It is a detailed analysis of quantifier use that presents evidence and argument that extends understanding of usage well beyond what has previously been investigated. It extends the comparatively sterile logical and (what the authors refer to as) psychometric approaches to provide a more truly psychological understanding by focusing on the expectations and intentions of the speaker and listener. In summary, it is very readable and enjoyable and imparted very much useful information. - Dr Paul Pollard, University of Central Lancashire, UK Author InformationLinda M. Moxey and Anthony J.
