摘要

IS泛型(即带有不定单数的泛型句)的合理性或可接受性，与BP泛型(带有纯复数的泛型句)相比，受到了相当大的限制。本文的目标是一方面解释is泛型相对于BP泛型的有限的优点，另一方面保持两类泛型之间的密切相似性。我们通过提出IS泛型的因果分析来做到这一点，并表明这与BP泛型的概率分析密切相关。

A Causal Semantics of IS Generics

Abstract The felicity, or acceptability, of IS generics, i.e. generic sentences with indefinite singulars, is considerably more restricted compared to BP generics, generics with bare plurals. The goal of this paper is to account for the limited felicity of IS generics compared to BP generics, on the one hand, while preserving the close similarity between the two types of generics, on the other. We do so by proposing a causal analysis of IS generics, and show that this corresponds closely with a probabilistic analysis of BP generics.

期刊介绍： Journal of Semantics aims to be the premier journal in semantics. It covers all areas in the study of meaning, with a focus on formal and experimental methods. The Journal welcomes submissions on semantics, pragmatics, the syntax/semantics interface, cross-linguistic semantics, experimental studies of meaning (processing, acquisition, neurolinguistics), and semantically informed philosophy of language.
