    Challenges→The cookie cutter model of types — the idea that a type is a perceptible pattern that all tokens resemble — does not work

    There are generally no properties had by all and only tokens of a given word type (not same phonological structure, nor same sense, nor same spelling)

    However, as we saw in §4, generally there are no such properties had by all and only tokens of a type, at least in the case of words—not same phonological structure, nor same sense nor same spelling. Not all tokens have any such natural projectible property (except for the property of being tokens of the same type). It should be clear from §4 that the cookie cutter model—the idea of the type as just a perceptible pattern for what all the tokens look like—does not work. Goodman (1972, pp. 437-8)
