2. Reason / D. Definition / 12. Paraphrase

10633	'Some critics admire only one another' cannot be paraphrased in singular first-order [Linnebo]
	Full Idea: The Geach-Kaplan sentence 'Some critics admire only one another' provably has no singular first-order paraphrase using only its predicates.
	From: Øystein Linnebo (Plural Quantification [2008], 1)
	A reaction: There seems to be a choice of either going second-order (picking out a property), or going plural (collectively quantifying), or maybe both.
