Isi artikel

Genericity is a topic we don't know much about. There are some interesting observations, some preliminary classifications and some rudimentary theories for certain generic constructions in certain languages. But many problems of the syntax and especially the semantics of generic sentences remain unsolved up to now. As other disciplines increasingly show interest in this topic, most prominently Artificial Intelligence in its research on default reasoning, it can be safely assumed that genericity will become an important subject in the next years. Heyer's work is one of the few book-length treatments of this subject; his basic ideas, together with some further developments, are accessible for the English reader in Heyer (1985) as well.
