AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of the various concerns raised about generics, bringing together evidence and observations from philosophy, linguistics and psychology to classify and articulate these concerns. In addition, they present some arguments against limiting generic language. Finally, they propose some novel prescriptions to address the concerns, drawing on literature in conceptual engineering to reorient our understanding of possible solutions.
