Zamparelli 2000 semantic argument

Zamparelli (2000) presents arguments for a compositional approach to nominal semantics in which a projection Ki[nd] plays a prominent role. This level is the level at which kinds in the Carlsonian sense (Carlson 1977) are determined. This category will play a role in the discussion in the next section. For present purposes it suffices to say that it cannot be higher than unit, nor lower than sort, so if it is a distinct head it must be between the two.
