Sentence examples for exemplifying situations from inspiring English sources

When we are quantifying over situations in donkey sentences, then, we need to relate possibly very complex sentences to exemplifying situations in a way that is responsive to the different behavior of different kinds of antecedents illustrated by (27) and 28(a) to (d).

(39) also quantifies over parts of the topic situation that exemplify the antecedent proposition, but as in the case of 37(b), considering all exemplifying situations would violate the Counting Principle, and we therefore need a counting criterion.

The exemplification relation relates possibly very complex sentences to their exemplifying situations.

Not all propositions that look like perfectly acceptable candidates for sentence denotations have exemplifying situations.

The major consequence of (29) is that if a proposition has exemplifying situations at all, the set of its exemplifying situations must be either homogeneous or quantized in the sense of Krifka 1992.

A single shift from descriptions of merely verifying to exemplifying situations would not yield the correct quantification domain for (61).

Likewise, if there is a teapot is interpreted as in 35(b) below, the proposition it expresses can only be exemplified by situations with exactly one teapot, even though it can be true in situations with more teapots.

The predicted exemplification properties of sentences with numerals are welcome, since they suggest that (29) might indeed capture the relation between propositions and situations that we are after: The situations exemplifying the proposition expressed by there is a teapot are all situations that have a single teapot in them, hence are literally minimal situations containing a teapot.

To exemplify bottleneck situations in the management of certain flows within the supply chain of the RES implementation projects, the paper proposes Drum-Buffer-Rope philosophy.

More generally, if sentences of the form there are n teapots denote propositions of the kind illustrated by 34(b), then those propositions can only be exemplified by situations that have exactly n teapots.

It particularly exemplifies different situations in European nature conservation.
