| In [[linguistics]], a ''quantized expression'' is such that, whenever it is true of some entity, it is ''not'' true of any proper subparts of that entity. Example: If something is an "apple", then no proper subpart of that thing is an "apple". If something is "water", then many of its subparts will also be "water". Hence, "apple" is quantized, while "water" is not. Quantization has proven relevant to the proper characterization of grammatical [[telicity]] (roughly, sentences that present events as '''bounded/unbounded''' in time) and the [[mass noun|mass/count]] distinction for [[nouns]]. The notion was first applied to linguistic [[semantics]] by the linguist [[Manfred Krifka]].

| Formally, a '''quantization''' predicate ''QUA'' can be defined as follows, where <math>U</math> is the [[universe of discourse]], and <math>F</math> is a variable over [[set (mathematics)|sets]], and <math>p</math> is a [[mereology|mereological]] part [[mathematical structure|structure]] on <math>U</math> with <math> <_p</math> the [[mereology|mereological]] part-of [[relation (mathematics)|relation]].

I would like to introduce myself to you, I am Andrew and my wife doesn't like it at all. Invoicing is my occupation. I am really fond of to go to karaoke but I've been taking on new issues recently. For a while I've been in Mississippi but now I'm contemplating other options.
