The author compares the concept of measurement as applied in psychology with the concept of measurement in natural sciences represented by entries in the international dictionary of metrology. He rejects the concept of measurement as assigning numbers to objects and so-called “nominal scale”. The author considers the measurement a less broad concept then quantification. Psychological quantification is not a measurement but a probabilistic assessment of a latent variable level that we only presume (contrary to really existing quantities in natural sciences).

Autor porovnáva koncepciu merania, ktorá sa uplatňuje v psychológii, s koncepciou merania v prírodných vedách, reprezentovanou heslami medzinárodného metrologického slovníka. Odmieta chápanie merania ako priraďovania čísel objektom a tzv. nominálnu škálu. Meranie pokladá za užší pojem než kvantifikácia. Psychologická kvantifikácia nie je meraním, ale pravdepodobnostným odhadom úrovne latentnej premennej, ktorej existenciu iba predpokladáme (na rozdiel od reálne existujúcich veličín v prírodných vedách).

In this paper, the results of the quantification procedures and the properties of expectations series obtained for two data vintages are compared. The volume index of production sold in manufacturing is defined for end-of-sample and real time data, and evaluated against expectations expressed in business tendency surveys. Empirical analysis shows that (1) there are no statistically significant differences between the quantification results obtained on the basis of real time and end-of-sample data, and (2) the results of unbiasedness and orthogonality tests are not influenced by data vintage. Therefore, for the purposes of analyzing the properties of expectations expressed in the business tendency survey, researchers can use easily available end-of-sample data instead of custom-designed and individually compiled real time databases. Also, (3) expectations series are not unbiased or efficient forecasts of changes in production, regardless of data vintage.

Fiscal quantifications in the structure of an official text from the 17th century The strategy of the lustration procedure drawn from the parliament’s acts and fiscal instructions that shaped 17th century official discourse, consisted of an inventory comprising the royal assets in a specific structural formula based on a fiscal calculative pattern used for tax purposes. The inventory’s structure comprised the following text sequences: 1. Showing the source of revenue. 2. Showing the revenue. 3. Showing the costs of income. 4. Showing the income. 5. Determining the amount of tax liability from the earned income. A fiscal operation treated in a numerical way as a certain calculative concept became a constructional diagram, which textually materialised itself in lustration inventories of cities, villages and farms throughoutthe Lviv area, which were developed in a repetitive discursive practice. A quantitative assessment in lustration inventories used for tax purposes, except for structural exponents, also has some other textual exponents, which refer to assessable areas of land, the number of outbuildings, the amount of harvest, time of work, amount of money, tax liability or the number of people.They primarily included cardinal and ordinal numbers, expressed linguistically and numerically, indicating a particular number of units which were subject to quantification, lexemes which expressed approximate values, that is indefinite numerals, and also units of measurement. Official quantitative conceptualization, which was pragmatically conditioned, as it was in accordance with fiscaland parliamentary directives used with royal assets, expressed itself in the 17th century lustration texts using a serial and repetitive textualprocessin a structural and stylistic dimension.

The paper presents a syntactic and semantic analysis of a Polish lexical unit poszczególne ‘individual’. It contains a description of the limits of its use, and a proposition of representation of its meaning. Moreover, it justifies the hypothesis that the meaning of poszczególne implies the notions of multitude, ordering, and openness of the set, and that the unit is one of the operators of distributive quantification.

The statistical process is a multifaceted, socially immersed research process. Statistics as a research activity is-and statistics as a product are-influenced by a variety of factors, covariates, and participants/stakeholders in data generation, analysis, dissemination and use. The aim of this paper is to identify and systematize key elements of the socio-cognitive status of statistics and of relations between statistics and society. To this end, a conceptual meta-model of the statistical process, involving an interwoven “logic of method” and “logic of action,” provides a framework for the exploration of statistics from the perspective of sociology. Given that social, cultural, and political conditions affect the quality of statistical products and the status of statistical institutions, sociological study seems especially well suited to dealing with the complexity of the issues involved. To be successful, however, advances in the sociology of statistics are also desirable.

In this survey of the Hobongan lexical items, I identify patterns in the Hobongan understanding of measurement and quantification. In Hobongan, there are many terms for measurements, usually some form of estimation. Hobongan has a four-based counting system, and those forms are used to estimate (one is one or hardly any, and four is quite a lot) and function as articles in sentences. Hobongan has also borrowed more counting terms and has the lexical items necessary for precise quantification, but those quantifications are used primarily within certain domains, such as determining what they should be paid for gold that has been mined or what should be paid in fines after legal judgments. Estimates of measurements can reference common objects, such as segments of bamboo or the height of a standing human. Perhaps the richest aspect of the system is that of measurement, in which terms that provide ways to estimate temperatures, magnitudes, and other amounts can indicate the ways in which the Hobongan make estimates from contextual information and apply the terms in use. In Hobongan, measurements in the form of estimates are primary and obligatory. Quantification with numbers is exclusively a type of symbolic and symbolized reasoning that must be combined with the estimate terms in order to be acceptable and functional.

The author considers the problem of conjunctive use of disjunctive conjunctions in the perspective of functional grammar. In the first part of the article, the author verifies the logical approach to conjunctions, especially disjunctive conjunctions. The linguistic meaning of a conjunction is defined as information on the credibility or applicability of a (semantically) compound sentence under condition [10, 01], which means an alternative participation of referents in the described situation. In the following chapters, the author analyzes several language facts, namely sentences that contain a disjunctive relationship and which nevertheless express the general meaning of conjunction. The author explains these phenomena by the fact that in such sentences there are the types of configurations of conjunction with the exponents of other semantic categories: quantification and modality.

Self-organising Logic of Structures as a Basis for a Dependency-based Dynamic Semantics ModelWe present Self-organising Logic of Structures (SLS), a semantic representation language of high expressive power, which was designed for a fully compositional representation of discourse anaphora following the Dynamic Semantics paradigm. The application of SLS to the description of possible meanings of Polish multiple quantifier sentences is discussed. Special attention is paid to the phenomena of: cardinality dependency/independency of Noun Phrase quantifiers and variety of quantification. Semantic representation based on several formal operators is proposed. They can be combined in many different ways, if one takes a purely theoretical perspective. However, in the paper we show that this huge number is practically reduced in the language use and is governed by several constraints motivated by the analysis of Polish language data. The Hypothesis of Local Range of Cardinality Dependency is formulated as an alternative to representations based on quantifier rising technique. SLS provides a multi-layered language description of inter-linked representation of sever antification, reference, presupposition and anaphora.

In this paper, I wish to present the analysis of collocations DET N1`de1` N2 in French, which is usually used to denote small or minimal amounts of a liquid. Dictionary paraphrases of the collocation referring to a ‘small amount of N` (fr. `petite quantitè de N) ) or ‘some N`(fr. `un peu de N) do not always describe the meaning and value of these expressions accurately. For example, ‘une pointe de whisky’ indicates not only a very small amounts of alcohol, but also a delicate touch of taste and, thus, a low degree of its intensity. Also the connectivity of DET N 1`de` with N2 described in dictionaries differs from the one found in the actual contemporary text use. DET N1`de` connects not only with nouns that mean different types of drinks (including alcohol/alcoholic) or liquids, but also with nouns denoting non-countable solids or abstract concepts referring most often to feelings and emotions as well as, surprisingly, music.

FR

Dans cet article nous analysons des collocations qui constituent la suite DET N1 de N2 et servent à exprimer habituellement une (très) petite quantité ou une quantité minime de liquide. Les paraphrases de ce type de collocations données par les dictionnaires de langue comme ‘petite quantité de N’, ‘un peu de N’ ne renvoient qu’à une partie du sens apporté par ces quantifieurs nominaux dont le sens exact est beaucoup plus complexe et nuancé. Par exemple, une pointe de whisky indique non seulement une petite quantité d’alcool mais désigne aussi une intensité faible de son goût. De même, la combinatoire de ces collocatifs attestée par les dictionnaires de langue n’est pas aussi large que celle confirmée par l’usage écrit récent dans les textes provenant des données numérisées. Ces données permettent de distinguer quelques types de N2 d’après la nature des objets de référence qu’ils désignent (cf. toutes sortes de boissons (y compris les alcools) ou toutes sortes de produits liquides mais aussi les produits massifs alimentaires ou non alimentaires et les idées abstraites – sentiments, émotions, etc. et même, ce qui peut paraître surprenant, les styles musicaux).

This paper discusses nouns serving as means of expressing continuous multiplicity in Arabic and Polish. In both languages the following categories of names serve this purpose: word-formative category of collective nouns (nomina collectiva), names of sets which are separate lexemes (not derivatives), plurale tantum nouns. The most important similarities occurring in both languages are: the categories of collective nouns (except for Arabic personal nouns) and of names of sets being separate lexemes have similar characteristics; most collective nouns and plurale tantum nouns denoting substances are subject to partitive quantification. Differences are: plurale tantum nouns have different meanings and usages; Arabic personal collective nouns are subject to numerical quantification.

The paper presents an analysis of two types of syntactic constructions: constructions with a quantized verb like zaklepat ‘knock’ and a quantifier like dvakrát ‘twice’ on the one hand and constructions with reciprocals like navštívit se (vzájemně) ‘visit each other’ and a quantifier like dvakrát ‘twice.’ Both of these syntactic construction types display a similar ambiguity: for instance, dvakrát zaklepat ‘to knock twice’ means either ‘to make two knocks’ or ‘to make two series of knocks’ while dvakrát se vzájemně navštívit means either ‘to make two visits’ or ‘to make four visits (two and two),’ with the former senses being instances of “internal” quantification (what is quantified is part of the meaning of the quantized verb and the reciprocal, but it cannot be directly expressed with it). Through this analysis a group of conditions has been identified which arguably have to be met so that the ambiguity could arise: 1. The denotation of the predicate can be divided into separate actions. If reciprocals like navštívit se (vzájemně) ‘to visit (each other)’ are considered autonomous verbs (i.e. not syntactic constructions), then it is the case that: 2. The separate actions can be expressed with a verb which is a base for the respective quantized verb or the reciprocal verb in a derivational sense; 3. The verb is syntactically intransitive. A general condition for the observed ambiguity is an interaction of two quantifiers. It can be assumed that when an “external” quantification is opted for, i.e., sets of events are counted, the quantification carried out by the quantized verb or by the reciprocal usually happens before the quantification related to a quantifier like dvakrát ‘twice.’

The aim of the article is both to point to the descriptive character of a majority of corpus linguistic analyses and to argue that this character (which is manifested by the classification, sorting or labelling of language data) represents a limit in corpus linguistic research. Further, an experimental approach (in the sense of empirical testing of a hypothesis) is proposed as a possible way of overcoming this limit. Finally, some methodological aspects of current state of corpus linguistics, namely the notion of representativeness and the interpretation of quantification, are critically discussed.

W artykule poruszana jest kwestia własności zdań zawierających wykładniki kwantyfikacji ogólnej we frazie nominalnej podmiotowej i predykaty (zarówno ciągłe, jak i nieciągłe), którym towarzyszy leksem negujący nie. Autor wskazuje, że połączenia typu wszyscy nie, np. Wszyscy nie słodzili kawy, można interpretować jako zdania szczegółowo-przeczące, podobnie jak połączenia nie wszyscy. Na podstawie relacji, w jakie jednostki werbalne wchodzą z wykładnikami kwantyfikacji ogólnej, autor dzieli je na trzy typy, z których pierwszy łączy się z operatorami typu wszyscy i żaden, drugi tylko z żaden, a trzeci tylko z wszyscy.

In the article, the issue of Polish sentences with general quantifiers in the noun phrase and predicates (both verbs and multi-word expressions) containing the negating lexeme nie is discussed. The author points out that the combinations of the type "wszyscy nie" (all not), e.g. Wszyscy nie słodzili kawy (All didn’t add suger to tea) may be interpreted as particular affirmative propositions, i.e. in the same way as "nie wszyscy" (not all) strings. On the basis of relations between Polish verbal units and general quantification operators, three groups are indicated: the first group of predicates can be used with operators of the type "wszyscy" (all) and "żaden" (none), the second only with "żaden", and the third only with "wszyscy".

Use of appropriate data vintages and taking data revisions into account have only recently became a staple of applied econometric analysis. In this paper, the topic of data vintage in regression quantification procedures is readdressed for survey data on general economic situation. From empirical analysis it follows that quantification of survey data on general economic situation on the basis of industrial production index does not present a significant improvement over the use of response balance. Additionally, results obtained for real-time and end-of-sample data are very similar and do not suggest superiority of any of these two data vintages as far as quantification of survey data on general economic situation is concerned

Globalna dyskusja nad problemami ekologicznymi zapoczątkowana na przełomie lat sześćdziesiątych i siedemdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku oraz podjęte w jej efekcie działania związane z koniecznością zrównoważenia zaspokajania potrzeb człowieka z możliwościami wykorzystania zasobów naturalnych doprowadziły do sformułowania założeń rozwoju zrównoważonego. Idea ta zakłada poszukiwanie kompromisu i osiągnięcie harmonii między trzema głównymi filarami rozwojowymi: gospodarczym, środowiskowym i społecznym. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie skwantyfikowania tego obszaru badawczego i jego statystyczna analiza przy użyciu metod porządkowania liniowego w ujęciu regionalnym w Polsce. Pomiar jest możliwy, ale niejednoznaczny. Ze względu na brak uniwersalnego zestawu mierników zasadniczym problemem pozostaje kwantyfikacja obszaru badawczego. Zaprezentowane w opracowaniu rozważania teoretyczne oraz empiryczne wyniki badań własnych stanowić mogą przyczynek do szerszej naukowej dyskusji w tym zakresie.

The global discussion concerning ecological problems that began between the 1960s and the 1970s and the resulting actions taken in order to balance people’s needs with the possibilities of using natural resources led to the formulation of the assumptions of sustainable development. This idea assumes that we should look for a compromise and achieve a harmony between the three main pillars of development: economic, environmental and social. The aim of this article is to present the quantification and statistical analysis of this research area using linear ordering methods. The study involved individual regions in Poland. The measurement is possible, but ambiguous. As there is no universal set of measures, the quantification of the research area remains an essential problem. Theoretical considerations presented in the paper and the empirical research results may constitute an introduction to a broader scientific discussion on the topic.

The article discusses phenomena related to the role that the Big Data technology plays in how culture is nowadays created and consumed. The subject of the analysis is Netflix, one of the video on demand service providers, and Rotten Tomatoes, a film review-aggregation website. Both services are recognized as examples of algorithmic culture. The author focuses primarily on whether – and if so then in what way – the thus understood algorithmic culture: 1) is functional with respect to consumption patterns represented by the so-called cultural omnivores in the context of modern attention economics; 2) contributes to changing evaluation standards for assessing cultural content quality and the status of professional criticism.
