    Challenges→The relational generalization of CL is second-order in nature, unlike CL itself

    If relational quantification is reinterpreted as first-order quantification over set-theoretic proxies, the generalization of CL need not be genuinely second-order in logical kind.

    Key Terms

    Generalization of CL(in logic)
    An expansion or broadening of 'classical logic' (the standard system of reasoning with true/false statements) to cover more complex situations.
    Relational quantification(in logic and mathematics)
    A way of making logical statements about relationships between things, where you're saying something like 'for some things related to X' rather than just 'for some things.'
    Set-theoretic proxies(in mathematics and logic)
    Using collections of items (called sets) to stand in for or represent something else, like using a mathematical container to represent a real-world concept.
    first-order quantification(Cited as a motivation for using reification operators instead of higher-type Montagovian semantics)
    Quantification ranging only over individuals, as opposed to higher-order quantification which ranges over predicates or functions of higher types

    logical kind(as what the statement questions the distinction between)
    A fundamental category or type; the idea that two things belong to completely different logical categories rather than just being different amounts of the same thing.
    second-order(as used in logic and philosophy of language)
    Referring to thinking about thinking itself, or rules about rules—a step removed from the basic level.
