<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Ideal''' is a particular type of [[generalized quantifier]] Q (Q =/= 0) which obeys the condition in (i):<br />
<br />
(i) for all X,Y subset E: (X in Q and Y in Q) &lt;=&gt;<br />
union(X,Y) in Q<br />
<br />
''Only'' N, ''no'' N and ''none of the'' N are examples of ideals; ''not all'' N and ''at most'' N are not. The condition in (i) captures the contrast in (ii).<br />
<br />
(ii) a Only dogs bark and only dogs run &lt;=&gt;<br />
only dogs bark or run<br />
b Not all dogs bark and not all dogs run &lt;=/=&gt;<br />
not all dogs bark or run<br />
