This paper is a summary of (a portion of) my dissertationSome Problems of Non-Singular Reference: A Logic for Mass, Sortal and Adverbial Terms (UCLA, 1971). I would like to thank the members of my committee for their help: Keith Donnellan, Montgomery Furth, Barbara Hall Partee, and John Perry. This paper was also read at the Canadian Philosophical Association meetings in Montreal, 1972. I would like to thank my commentator, Henry Laycock, for his insights. The non-existence of many mistakes is due to the (necessarily anonymous) referee. I thank him/her.
