Homogeneity (semantics), the Glossary
In formal semantics, homogeneity is the phenomenon where plural expressions that seem to mean "all" negate to "none" rather than "not all".[1]

Assertion
Assertion or assert may refer to.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Assertion
Bare nouns
A bare noun is a noun that is used without a surface determiner or quantifier.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Bare nouns
Conditional sentence
Conditional sentences are natural language sentences that express that one thing is contingent on something else, e.g. "If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled." They are so called because the impact of the main clause of the sentence is conditional on the dependent clause. Homogeneity (semantics) and conditional sentence are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Conditional sentence
Cumulativity (linguistics)
In linguistic semantics, an expression X is said to have cumulative reference if and only if the following holds: If X is true of both of a and b, then it is also true of the combination of a and b. Example: If two separate entities can be said to be "water", then combining them into one entity will yield more "water". Homogeneity (semantics) and Cumulativity (linguistics) are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.

Data type
In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Data type
English language
English is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, whose speakers, called Anglophones, originated in early medieval England on the island of Great Britain.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and English language
Focus (linguistics)
In linguistics, focus (abbreviated) is a grammatical category that conveys which part of the sentence contributes new, non-derivable, or contrastive information. Homogeneity (semantics) and focus (linguistics) are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Focus (linguistics)
Formal semantics (natural language)
Formal semantics is the study of grammatical meaning in natural languages using formal tools from logic, mathematics and theoretical computer science. Homogeneity (semantics) and formal semantics (natural language) are semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Formal semantics (natural language)
Free choice inference
Free choice is a phenomenon in natural language where a linguistic disjunction appears to receive a logical conjunctive interpretation when it interacts with a modal operator. Homogeneity (semantics) and Free choice inference are formal semantics (natural language), Philosophical logic and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Free choice inference
Hungarian language
Hungarian is a Uralic language of the proposed Ugric branch spoken in Hungary and parts of several neighbouring countries.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Hungarian language
Japanese language
is the principal language of the Japonic language family spoken by the Japanese people.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Japanese language
Law of excluded middle
In logic, the law of excluded middle or the principle of excluded middle states that for every proposition, either this proposition or its negation is true.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Law of excluded middle
Logical conjunction
In logic, mathematics and linguistics, and (\wedge) is the truth-functional operator of conjunction or logical conjunction. Homogeneity (semantics) and logical conjunction are semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Logical conjunction
Logical connective
In logic, a logical connective (also called a logical operator, sentential connective, or sentential operator) is a logical constant.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Logical connective
Modality (linguistics)
In linguistics and philosophy, modality refers to the ways language can express various relationships to reality or truth. Homogeneity (semantics) and modality (linguistics) are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Modality (linguistics)
Negation
In logic, negation, also called the logical not or logical complement, is an operation that takes a proposition P to another proposition "not P", standing for "P is not true", written \neg P, \mathord P or \overline. Homogeneity (semantics) and negation are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Negation
Plural
The plural (sometimes abbreviated as pl., pl, or), in many languages, is one of the values of the grammatical category of number.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Plural
Plural quantification
In mathematics and logic, plural quantification is the theory that an individual variable x may take on plural, as well as singular, values.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Plural quantification
Possible world
A possible world is a complete and consistent way the world is or could have been. Homogeneity (semantics) and possible world are semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Possible world
Predication (philosophy)
Predication in philosophy refers to an act of judgement where one term is subsumed under another.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Predication (philosophy)
Presupposition
In the branch of linguistics known as pragmatics, a presupposition (or PSP) is an implicit assumption about the world or background belief relating to an utterance whose truth is taken for granted in discourse. Homogeneity (semantics) and presupposition are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Presupposition
Russian language
Russian is an East Slavic language, spoken primarily in Russia.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Russian language
Scalar implicature
In pragmatics, scalar implicature, or quantity implicature, is an implicature that attributes an implicit meaning beyond the explicit or literal meaning of an utterance, and which suggests that the utterer had a reason for not using a more informative or stronger term on the same scale. Homogeneity (semantics) and scalar implicature are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Scalar implicature
Three-valued logic
In logic, a three-valued logic (also trinary logic, trivalent, ternary, or trilean, sometimes abbreviated 3VL) is any of several many-valued logic systems in which there are three truth values indicating true, false, and some third value.
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Three-valued logic
Truth value
In logic and mathematics, a truth value, sometimes called a logical value, is a value indicating the relation of a proposition to truth, which in classical logic has only two possible values (true or false).
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Truth value
Universal quantification
In mathematical logic, a universal quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as "given any", "for all", or "for any".
See Homogeneity (semantics) and Universal quantification
Vagueness
In linguistics and philosophy, a vague predicate is one which gives rise to borderline cases. Homogeneity (semantics) and Vagueness are formal semantics (natural language) and semantics.
