Singular Donkey Pronouns Are Semantically Singular

Les pronoms donkey, apparaissant dans les constructions syntaxiques specifiques du type 'Every farmer who owns a donkey beats it', sont consideres comme ayant une semantique depourvue de toute valeur numerique. Les phrases donkey peuvent ainsi donner lieu a une interpretation soit existentielle, soit universelle. Cette these de la neutralite du nombre en general et la theorie de la somme en particulier ne sont pas, selon l'A., correctement motivees et aboutissent a de fausses predictions. Elles seraient insatisfaisantes sous tous leurs aspects.
