Abstract
In philosophy of language plural reference has received much less attention than singular reference. This paper suggests that this is at least partly due to the classical interpretation of predicates as functions from objects to truth-values. Such functions only admit for singular arguments and this has led either to a lack of attention to the plural reference or even to the attempt to reduce it to singular reference. This paper has two objectives: the first is to show that attempts to reduce the plural reference to singular reference fail; the second is to sketch a theory of predication, different from the traditional one, which is compatible with the plural reference.
