不定复数类属句在法语中的分布非常有限。特别是，在没有名词性修饰语、情态动词或替代韵律的情况下，可以出现在主语位置的名词性谓词的集合只包括所谓的“固有复数谓词”，如孪生。除非修改，否则禁止使用复数排序谓词，如square。本文的基础上的假设，通用的不定语句是量化的（相反，在法语复数定语句），量化需要“个性化”。它试图解释为什么twins表示复数个体，而squares不表示复数个体。它认为，已经使用扩展工具来解释本体的实体表示固有的复数谓词的各种意见，并提出了一个解释的内涵概念的基础上协调的整体。提出的本体论观点补充了双胞胎是一个相互谓词的句法观点。
Indefinite plural generic sentences in French have very limited distributions. In particular, in the absence of nominal modifiers, modals or constrastive prosody, the set of nominal predicates that can appear in subject position includes only so-called “inherently plural predicates” like twins. Pluralized sortal predicates like squares are banned unless modified. The paper builds on the assumption that generic indefinite statements are quantificational (contrary to plural definite statements in French) and that quantification requires “individuation”. It strives to explain why twins denotes a plural individual whereas squares does not. It considers various views that have used extensional tools to account for the ontology of the entity denoted by inherently plural predicates, and proposes an explanation based on the intensional notion of coordinated whole. The ontological view that is proposed complements the syntactic view that twins is a reciprocal predicate.
