Description

Explore a new perspective on semantic theory with Plurality, Conjunction and Events. Published by Springer as part of the Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy series, this work offers a deep look into plural and conjoined phrases through an event-based semantic framework. The text examines the complexities of how sentences function when they contain plural or conjoined noun phrases. It reviews various options for handling the alternation between collective and distributive readings, drawing from both modern and premodern literature. By arguing that plural and conjoined noun phrases are unambiguously group-denoting, the book shifts the focus of the collective/distributive distinction to the predicates themselves. This academic resource is designed for readers interested in the mechanics of language and the structural logic of semantic frameworks. It provides a rigorous analysis of how noun phrases combine with predicates to create meaning, making it a valuable addition to any collection of linguistic philosophy.
