                                                                    Equations

                                                                      The predicativist claim: BSNs and definite common NPs have parallel structure. ⟦∅ Ruth⟧ = ⟦the⟧ [λx.x is called Ruth] ⟦the tiger⟧ = ⟦the⟧ [λx.x is a tiger] If this is right, they should pattern alike for genericity. The data shows they mostly do, modulo recalcitrance.

                                                                        Quotation restores the parallel for kind-level predicates.
