Indefinites, Skolem Functions, and Arbitrary Objects
Keyword(s):
In this chapter I will look at the semantic analysis of indefinites in English, and their treatment in the framework of Dynamic Logic, choice functions (epsilon terms), and Kit Fine’s arbitrary objects. In the end I will make some comparative remarks about the latter and the account in terms of Skolem functions that Fine criticized, and propose an alternative framework (team semantics).
