I would like to thank Gennaro Chierchia, Nirit Kadmon, Angelika Kratzer, Barbara Partee, Craige Roberts, Ray Turner and the participants in the fall-1986 seminar on ‘Foundations of Semantics’ at UMass for their stimulating discussions and comments. Thanks also to Roger Schwarzschild and an anonymous referee for pointing out some unclarities. Special thanks to Nirit, for convincing me in time that the perspective adopted in the last part was more worthwhile pursuing than the perspective rejected there. The research for this paper was supported by the System Development Foundation, which is gratefully acknowledged.
