(By David Gil): "Conjunctions are forms with meanings similar to that of English and. Universal quantifiers are expressions with meanings resembling those of English every, each, and all. ❡
Logicians, as well as logically-minded linguists, have suggested that there is a close affinity between conjunctions and universal quantifiers. For example, in the context of a class consisting of five students, Alice, Bill, John, Mary and Susan, sentence (1) with the conjoined NP Alice, Bill, John, Mary and Susan is logically equivalent to sentence (2) with the universally quantified noun phrase every student."
