5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 6. Plural Quantification

12794	Plurals are semantical but not ontological [Laycock]
	Full Idea: Plurality is a semantical but not also an ontological construction.
	From: Henry Laycock (Words without Objects [2006], Intro 4)
	A reaction: I love it when philososphers make simple and illuminating remarks like this. You could read 500 pages of technical verbiage about plural reference without grasping that this is the underlying issue. Sounds right to me.
