- W4214702421 abstract "<p>This paper presents a case study of the English noun <em>amount</em>, a word that ostensibly relies on measurement in its semantics, yet stands apart from other quantizing nouns on the basis of its <span>EXISTENTIAL </span>interpretation. <em>John ate the apples that Bill ate</em> does not mean John and Bill ate the same apples, but rather that they each ate apples in the same quantity. <em>Amount</em> makes reference to abstract representations of measurement, that is, to degrees. Its <span>EXISTENTIAL </span>interpretation evidences the fact that degrees contain information about the objects that instantiate them. Outside the domain of nominal measurement, the noun <em>kind</em> exhibits behavior strikingly similar to that of <em>amount</em>; both yield an <span>EXISTENTIAL </span>interpretation (<span>Carlson 1977b</span>). This observation motivates re-conceiving of degrees as nominalized quantity-uniform properties – the same sort of entity as kinds. Thus, the semantic machinery handling kinds also handles degrees (e.g., <em>Derived Kind Predication</em>; <span>Chierchia 1998</span>): As nominalized properties, degrees are instantiated by objects that hold the corresponding property; when instantiated by real-world objects, degrees (and kinds) deliver the <span>EXISTENTIAL </span>interpretation.</p>" @default.
