The author's previous paper in 'Magyar Nyelvor' discussed some errors, peculiarities, and curiosities of grammatical agreement governed by collective nouns. In the present paper, written with similar methods and aims, he turns to some particulars of the general issue of agreement that share 'quantity' as a common feature. The analysis is based on a data set collected between 1992 and 2003. First, agreement within the quantifier phrase, then (in the lengthiest part of the paper) agreement governed by a quantified noun, and finally, that governed by a quantifier (a numeral used as a noun or a pronoun referring to quantity) is considered.
The work tends to point out the deficiency of some opinions claiming simplified presentation of the promise as the act that directly raises obligation for the promisor. Promises, either in the moral or legal sphere, are based on communication and so form an order of dependent steps that indicates their procedural nature. These characteristics may differ to a lesser extent, depending on the legal systems, moral norms of the society and its technical level and its needs. In all these cases, how-ever, the procedural characteristics of promises, especially in conditional promises, as well as the promises in contractual relations, persist. In our analysis we wish to show that the consistent conception of promise has to take into account a step of acceptance. The outcome of this approach relativizes a strong distinction between promise and offer.
