QV with Singular Indefinites<br />
• QV comes about because the Q-adverb binds<br />
(minimal) situations that contain just one<br />
individual <strong>of</strong> the relevant sort (cf. Berman<br />
(1989), de Swart (1993), von Fintel (1994),<br />
Herburger (2000)).<br />
• Accordingly, (1) is interpreted as in (12):<br />
(1) A biologist is usually open-minded.<br />
(12) Most e [∃x. arg(e,x) ∧ biologist(x)]<br />
[open_minded(e)]<br />
