I argue that constructions involving so-called ‘dependent plurals’, i.e. plurals lacking occurring in scope certain quantificational items such as all most (e.g. All girls were wearing hats ), pose a challenge to familiar semantic frameworks distingui...

We extend the concept of constructive complete distributivity so as to make it applicable to ordered sets admitting merely bounded suprema The KZ doctrine for bounded suprema is of some independent interest and a few results about it are given The category of ordered sets admitting bounded suprema over which inhabited classically non empty in ma distribute is shown to be bi equivalent to a cate...
