7.4. Multiple generality

7.4.0. Overview

A sentence that is not truth-functionally compound may contain more than one quantifier phrase and, when analyzing such a sentence, we will need to choose the one with widest scope to analyze first.

7.4.1. Multiple generality
In some cases, multiple quantifier phrases are used to express generalizations about pairs and, in such cases, scope differences do not produce differences in meaning and the order in which the quantifier phrases are analyzed does not matter.

7.4.2. Judging the scope of quantifier phrases
In cases where the scope of quantifiers does mark a difference in meaning, the use of words like any may indicate the correct scope but ambiguity is also possible.
