Absolute Actuality and the Plurality of Worlds
Let’s fix some terminology at the start. A world (or possible world – for me, the ‘possible’ is redundant) is, first, an individual, not a set or class; second, a particular, not a property or universal; third, concrete in this sense: it is fully determinate in all qualitative respects; and, fourth, a maximal interrelated whole: each world is internally unified, and isolated from every other wo...
متن کاملComplement anaphora and the plurality of worlds
In a nutshell We present novel data from German revealing an striking similarity in the behavior of complement anaphora (CA) in different domains (possible worlds, times, individuals): We argue that the distribution of CA in the domain of individuals requires the antecedent quantifier to provide a plurality. We show that the correlation of quantifier types and the availability of CA with condit...
