‘That’-clauses as existential quantifiers
Analysis 64 (3):229-235 (2004)
Abstract
Following Panaccio, 'John believes that p' is analysed as 'For some x such that x is true if and only if p, John believes x'. On this view the complement clause 'that p' acts as a restricted existential quantifier and it contributes a higher-order property.Author's Profile
