Additional information

This paper was presented to McGill University's Department of Linguistics (5 March, 1990), to the University of Toronto's Department of Linguistics (28 February, 1990), and at the Workshop on ‘The Semantic Issues of Mass Nouns, Plurals and Events’, held at the University of Tubingen's Seminar fur Naturlich-sprachliche Systeme (17–18 June, 1989). I thank the audiences in attendance at these presentations for their comments and criticisms. I also thank Peter Simons for written comments on an earlier draft of this paper.
