A framework for fuzzy quantification models analysis

A framework for description of fuzzy quantification models is presented. Within this framework, the fuzzy quantified statements evaluation problem is described as the compatibility between the fuzzy quantifier and a fuzzy cardinality or a fuzzy aggregation measure. A list of desirable properties for quantification models is presented and those models that fit the framework are confronted with it.
