Numerals, positionality, and reference fixing. Reply to Vivanco

Manuscrito 43 (4):165-176 (2020)

Abstract

Melisa Vivanco objects to my theory of the Arabic numerals in Roads to Reference that the reference fixing procedure that I postulate doesn’t exploit the morphological structure of the Arabic numerals, but it should. Against Vivanco, I argue that the procedure in question does exploit the morphological structure of the numerals in an essential way.
