Synopsis:
In an attempt to address the theoretical gap between linguistics and philosophy, a group of semanticists, calling itself the Generic Group, has worked to develop a common view of genericity. Their research has resulted in this book, which consists of a substantive introduction and eleven original articles on important aspects of the interpretation of generic expressions. The introduction provides a clear overview of the issues and synthesizes the major analytical approaches to them. Taken together, the papers that follow reflect the current state of the art in the semantics of generics, and afford insight into various generic phenomena.
About the Author: Gregory N. Carlson is professor of linguistics, philosophy, and cognitive science at the University of Rochester. Francis Jeffry Pelletier is Canada Research Chair in cognitive science, professor of philosophy, and professor of linguistics at Simon Fraser University.
