Parameters for the configuration of some qualitative SOME's

Résumé

In this article we maintain that the marker SOME, in constructions of the general form SOME N, refers to an operation of second-order determination or bracketing, relative to a notional domain. This may in turn be interpreted contextually as quantitative – in which case SOME brackets an amount of the notion in question – or qualitative – in which case SOME brackets a quality of the notion in question. Such qualitative uses may be categorised further into at least three subtypes, according to the type of determination involved : whichness (ipseity), whatness (quiddity) or howmuchness (intensity). The theoretical framework used is that of the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations. The concept of second-order determination enables us to provide an innovative explanation for the different values of SOME as configurations of an abstract schematic form.
