admirers of 50% of symphonies
I have been trying & failing to render into Jbobau three different
interpretations of "(the) admirers of 50% of Brahms's symphonies"
[a nonspecific pair of his 4 symponies].
(1) Each admirer admires some but not necessarily each of this 50%
of symphonies
(2) Each admirer admires each of the same 50%
(3) Each admirer admires each of a possibly different 50%
In the sentence "I met all the admirers of 50% of Brahms's symphs"
these interpreations give us, respectively:
(1) There are two of B's S's such that I met all their admirers (everyone
who admires either of them).
(2) There are two of B's S's such that I met everyone who admires
both of them.
(3) I met everyone who admires two of B's S's.
Any of our didactic friends care to take this on for me?
