类属代词one(或其对应的空的任意性PRO)表现出一系列与第一人称或相关的意向施事(说话人、受话人或被描述施事)有特殊联系的属性。类属一通常导致类属句,其泛化是从第一人称经验或行动中获得的,否则就意味着立即适用于相关施事本身(特别是收件人)。我会争辩说,泛指涉及泛指量化,在这种情况下,谓词被应用于给定的实体,就好像应用于相关的主体本身一样。从模拟的角度来理解这一点是最好的,这是心理哲学和认知科学(模拟理论)最近发展的一个核心概念。仿制药涉及“仿制药”,大体上是“设身处地为符合相关条件的人着想”。从形式上讲,这意味着泛指引入了一个复杂的变量,由一个普通变量和相关意向动因的“呈现方式”组成,即与该动因相同的性质。与其他充当约束变量的代词一样,泛型One也可能只引入一个普通变量。在这两种情况下,普通变量都需要由语句泛型运算符绑定。
The generic pronoun one (or its empty counterpart, arbitrary PRO) exhibits a range of properties that show a special connection to the first person, or rather the relevant intentional agent (speaker, addressee, or described agent). Generic one typically leads to generic sentences whose generalization is obtained from a first-person experience or action or else is meant to be immediately applicable to the relevant agent himself (in particular the addressee). I will argue that generic one involves generic quantification in which the predicate is applied to a given entity ‘as if’ to the relevant agent himself. This is best understood in terms of simulation, a central notion in some recent developments in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science (Simulation Theory). generic one involves ‘generic simulation’, roughly ‘putting oneself into the shoes of anyone meeting relevant conditions. Formally, this means that generic one introduces a complex variable, consisting of an ordinary variable and a ‘mode of presentation’ of the relevant intentional agent, namely the property of being identical to that agent. Generic one, like other pronouns acting as bound variables, may also introduce just an ordinary variable. In both cases, the ordinary variable needs to be bound by a sentential generic operator.
