영문 초록

Regarding the interpretation of bare plurals in perception verb complements, I propose a new mapping algorithm, where if bare plurals are inside of the event NP, they are automatically mapped into the nuclear scope, being bound by an existential closure and interpreted existentially, and if bare plurals are outside of the event NP, they are bound by a generic operator, producing a generic reading. It solves the several empirical problems for Diesing's (1992) strict Mapping Hypothesis.
