The Uses of ‘Is’ are not Quantifiers

Jud,
your recent posts concerning the natural language quantifiers ‘is’ and
‘exists’ display a fundamental confusion insofar as they suggest that
there is a relationship between natural language quantifiers and logical
quantifiers.
there is no such relationship.
the logical quantifiers are ‘all’ and ’some’.
what you are calling natural language quantifiers are the uses of ‘is’:
the is of predication and the is of isness.
in the hope that you are willing (and able) to clarify this point …,
Joe
