| Citazioni | In discussing quantification it is useful to distinguish three types of ensemble (Brown 1985 [Brown, 1985, “Term operators” in Bolkestein et al. (eds.) 1985, “Predicates and terms in Functional Grammar”, Dordrecht, Foris, 127-145]):
(40) a. the Referent Ensemble R: R is the
ensemble that is being referred to in a given
usage of term.
b. the Domain Ensemble D: D is the
ensemble from which R is taken as a sub-
ensemble.
c. the Universal Ensemble U: U is the

have the properties specified in the term. |
