On Generic and Existential Bare Plurals and the Classification of Predicates

This paper is concerned with what allows a bare plural NP to be interpreted either existentially or generically in examples like (1a), and what excludes the existential interpretation in examples like (1b) — a question raised and discussed by Diesing (1992a) and Kratzer (1995).
