Number words and ontological commitment
Philosophical Quarterly 57 (226):1–20 (2007)
| Abstract | With the aid of some results from current linguistic theory I examine a recent anti-Fregean line with respect to hybrid talk of numbers and ordinary things, such as ‘the number of moons of Jupiter is four’. I conclude that the anti-Fregean line with respect to these sentences is indefensible. | |||||||||
