A Lexico-Cognitive Study of the Forms of Quantification in Arabic Within the Framework of Gradeability by Force

Abstract

The present paper tackles the linguistic phenomenon of quantification which is the second source of gradeability by force. Quantification is an important aspect in semantic relationships. The study adopts a lexical-cognitive approach. The process of analysis reveals the lexical, grammatical, and morphological features of quantification. Moreover, it unearths the rhetorical functions of the forms of gradeability in reference to quantification. In conclusion, the study shows that quantification is useful for language learners and translators. Moreover, it proves important at the social, cognitive and logical levels.

Keywords: Cognition, Morphology, Quantification, Semantics, gradeability, lexicality
