Quantifier typology — shared enums #

[Hor72] [BC81]

Theory-level descriptive enums for the typological classification of quantifiers/determiners, shared across language fragments and the studies that consume the textbook-consensus B&C Table II metadata. The lexical entry record is gone: a quantifier's lexical marking is now Syntax.Determiner.Quantifier (Syntax/Determiner/Basic.lean); these enums survive only as the typological labels that record metadata (force, monotonicity, weak/strong strength) reads off, and as the parameter type of the GQT gqtMeaning operator.

          Weak/strong classification (B&C §4.3, Table II). Weak determiners allow there-insertion: "There are some cats." Strong determiners don't: "*There is every cat."
