(Ditto for the two part-state of affairs loudness and laughter).
>"Adverbial analysis", >Quantification, >States of affairs.
Event/ontology/Meixner: however, it is not even decided whether they are objects or functions.
>Ontology, >Objects, >Function.
Event/LewisVsDavidson: as properties they are functions.
>Properties/Lewis, >Events/Lewis.
DavidsonVsLewis: as individuals they are objects.
>Events/Davidson.
