On the Concept of a Token Generator.
There is a widely shared account of the distinction between types and tokens, which might be termed the standard account. However, it has some surprising consequences that are not always realized.

This new account is based on a concept that I call a "token generator", which is something that specifies in detail how to produce the tokens. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Annals of the Japan Association for the Philosophy of Science is the property of Sasaki Printing & Publishing Co., Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
