Double-weighted statement
Definite Descriptions qualifies for double weighting because it involves 'the generation of a particularly extensive or complex concept or thesis', as stipulated in paragraph 64 of Panel Criteria and Working
Methods. Elbourne's proposal is tested against an extremely wide and complex variety of data, including data concerning presupposition, predication, reference, anaphora, modality, and incompleteness. There are ten chapters; excluding three introductory chapters, this leaves seven chapters each of which is equivalent to a substantial journal article. Indeed, part of Chapter 8 has already appeared in a leading journal: 'The existence entailments of definite descriptions', Linguistics and Philosophy 33(1), 2010, 1-10.
