----- 在逻辑与世界之间：泛化的综合理论

ISBN: 9780198822615 出版年：2016 页码：286 Nickel, Bernhard Oxford University Press

In our everyday thought and talk, we put things into categories in order to generalize about them: 'Lions have manes', 'Ravens are black'. Bernhard Nickel presents a theory of generic sentences and the modes of thought they express, integrating compositional semantics with metaphysics to solve the problems of what they mean and how they work.
