Bare NPs: Kind-referring, Indefinites, Both, or Neither?
| Abstract | It is generally assumed that there are two types of genericity, called characterizing statements and kind reference in Krifka et al. (1995). Characterizing statements express generalizations about sets of entities or situations, cf. (1); kind reference involves reference to an entity that is related to specimens, cf. (2). | |||||||||
