作为支持形容词涉及新戴维森国家论点的（少数）观点的论点，我认为它是对英语限定词+形容词结构（旧）的分析的基础。从其“个性化”解读（老年人通常更快乐）来看，这似乎是指老年人；其“大众”阅读（旧的绝不是普通的），比如旧事。 根据经验，本文使用自然发生的数据来表明这两种阅读比有时建议的更有成效。从理论上讲，这两者是通过存在地关闭状态分析提供的两个参数（个体参数 x 、状态参数 s ）中的一个或另一个而简约地导出的 – λxλs [ old ( s ) ∧holder ( x , s ) ] – 导出用于个体阅读的个体谓词和用于大众阅读的状态谓词。限定词+形容词的这种解释进一步反映了这样的哲学思想：属性可以被解释为个体的谓词或这些个体共享的抽象事物；并连接到动词短语和形容词名词化的其他方式。
As an argument in favor of the (minority) view that adjectives involve a neo-Davidsonian state argument, I argue that it grounds an analysis of the English Determiner + Adjective construction ( the old ). On its “individuated” reading ( the old are generally happier ), this seems to refer to old individuals ; on its “mass” reading ( the old is never ordinary ), to something like oldness . Empirically, this paper uses naturally-occurring data to show that both readings are more productive than sometimes suggested. Theoretically, the two are parsimoniously derived by existentially closing off one or the other of the two arguments (the individual argument x , the state argument s ) made available by the state analysis – λxλs [ old ( s ) ∧ holder ( x , s )] – deriving a predicate of individuals for the individuated reading, and a predicate of states for the mass reading. This account of Determiner + Adjective further reflects the philosophical idea that properties can be construed as predicates of individuals or as the abstract thing that those individuals share; and connects to other ways of nominalizing both verb phrases and adjectives.
