 How can this disagreement be adjudicated? On the one hand, it may count in favor of the Fregean tradition that their view is highly systematic. There may be something ad hoc about the idea that some sorts of semantic value give rise to ontological commitments while other sorts don’t. On the other hand, it may count in favor of the alternative view that it does better justice to many people’s strongly felt intuition that plural locutions are ontologically innocent.
