Abstract

In this paper. I respond to critics who claim that E. Mally’s distinction between two modes of predication, as it is employed in my theory of abstract objects, is reducible to, or analyzable in terms of, a single mode of predication plus the distinction between nuclear and extranuclear properties. I argue against these claims by developing counterexamples to the reductions and analyses. I also offer reasons for thinking that no such reduction/analysis could be successful
