In this paper, I aim to discuss what puns, metaphysically, are. I argue that the type-token view of words leads to an indeterminacy problem when we consider puns. I then outline an alternative account of puns, based on recent nominalist views of words, that does not suffer from this indeterminacy.

双关语的形而上学

在本文中，我的目的是从形而上学的角度讨论双关语是什么。我认为，当我们考虑双关语时，单词的类型标记视图会导致不确定性问题。然后，我根据最近对词语的唯名论观点概述了双关语的另一种解释，它不会受到这种不确定性的影响。
