초록
The purpose of this research is to redefine the concept of totality presented in Lee (2013) with wide range of data across languages. It was developed to explain generic and existential meaning of nouns. According to previsous works (Lee, 2013, 2014) noun forms are irrelevant to those meanings because generic and existential meanings are expressed by all kinds of noun forms across languages. The notion of ‘totality’ and its way of interpretation are relevant to determine whether a noun receives generic reading or not. Lee (2013) argues that generic and existential meanings are equally derived from the notion of ‘totality’. This paper goes to verify the idea proposed in Lee (2013) and show aspectual restriction on time condition. In short, generic reading on nouns is only possible with predicates having non-closed timeline.
Abstract

The notion of ‘totality’ and its way of interpretation are relevant to determine whether a noun receives generic reading or not. Lee (2013) argues that generic and existential meanings are equally derived from the notion of ‘totality’. This paper goes to verify the idea proposed in Lee (2013) and show aspectual restriction on time condition. In short, generic reading on nouns is only possible with predicates having non-closed timeline.
