Composing Criteria of Individuation in Copredication
Journal of Semantics ( IF 1.000 ) Pub Date : 2016-08-22 , DOI: 10.1093/jos/ffw008
Matthew Gotham

Copredication is the phenomenon whereby two or more predicates are applied to a single argument, but those predicates appear to require that their argument denote different things. This paper focuses on the problem of individuation and counting in copredication: many quantified copredication sentences have truth conditions that cannot be accounted for given standard assumptions, because the predicates used impose distinct criteria of individuation on the objects to which they apply. I propose a compositional system for criteria of individuation and show that it improves predictions regarding the truth conditions of numerically quantified copredication sentences compared to existing accounts.

共同拟定个性化准则

共谓是一种现象,其中两个或多个谓词应用于一个论点,但是这些谓词似乎要求其论点表示不同的事物。本文着重讨论共同谓词中的个体化和计数问题:许多量化的共同谓词句子具有无法满足给定标准假设的真实条件,因为所使用的谓词对它们所适用的对象施加了不同的个体化标准。我提出了一个用于个性化标准的组成系统,并表明与现有的帐户相比,它可以改善有关数字量化共谓句子的真实条件的预测。
