Notice that the ostensible singular term, "The author of Waverley," consists of our troublesome word "the" pasted onto the front of a predicative expression, and notice too that the meaning of that expression figures crucially in our ability to recognize or pick out the expression's referent; to find the referent we have to look for someone who did write Waverley. Russell suggests that "the" abbreviates a more complex construction involving what logicians and linguists call quanti- fiers, words that quantify general terms ("all teenagers," "some bananas," "six geese a-laying," "most police officers," "no light bulbs," and the like). Indeed, he thinks that (5) as a whole abbreviates a conjunction of three quantified general statements, none of which makes reference to Scott in particular: (5a) At least one person authored Waverley. (5b) At most one person authored Waverley. (5c) Whoever authored Waverley was Scotch.
