*Generics, Covert Structure and Logical Form*****


Abstract :****

The standard view amongst philosophers of language and linguists is that
the logical form of generics is quantificational and contains an covert,
unpronounced quantifier expression *Gen*. Recently, some theorists have
begun to question the standard view and advocate the competing proposal,
originally found in Carlson (1977), that generics are a species of
kind-predication (Liebesman (2011) and Cohen (2012)). These theorists offer
some forceful objections to the standard view, and offer new strategies for
dealing with the abundance of linguistic evidence in favour of the standard
view. I respond to these objections and show that their strategies fail.****
