Semantics

an analysis of plurals and mass terms as sums in a join semilattice, so that plural individuals are built from atoms by a sum operation.

In semantics, lattice-theoretic plurality refers to an analysis of plurals and mass terms as sums in a join semilattice, so that plural individuals are built from atoms by a sum operation. This meaning comes from Link (1983) in Meaning, Use, and Interpretation of Language.[1]
