Pluralities and Plural Logic
Analysis 75 (3):504-514 (2015)
Abstract
In this Critical Notice on Oliver and Smiley's Plural Logic, I defend the dominant paradigm in the semantics of plurals among linguists against several objections Oliver and Smiley raise, focusing especially on the proper treatment of plural definite descriptions, the threat posed by Russell's paradox, and the notion of objecthood.Author's Profile
