Abstract

This note exposes a little-known fact originally proposed by Nicholas Rescher in 1965, that the generalized second-order quantifier “Most” and the rules governing its behavior can be incorporated into Euler-Venn diagrams with an iconic notion of an arrow and its head and vane extensions and contractions. The objective is then to analyse this work further and to link it with the related but independently developed recent work in the area of natural logic.
