The Grammar of Dispositions
Dispositions differ from other properties like color or shape, in that they are modal: the actual behavior of a vase does not determine its fragility, rather, a vase is fragile if and only if it is disposed to shutter when struck. This issue is a one-stop resource for researchers interested in the analysis of linguistic descriptions of dispositional properties.
