<abstract displayLabel="Summary">In this paper are reported four experiments which investigated the effects of context on the interpretation of quantifiers of frecuency such as often and seldom. The proportion that a quantifier was assumed to signify was influenced by certain aspects of context, specially the expected frequency of the event or activity described. It is concluded that caution must be exercised when interpreting the results of questionnaires which use such quantifiers</abstract>
