In order to bring some minimal amount of order to the chaos that
almost inevitably attends the use of the word 'existential' in a
linguistic investigation, the author reserved the term existential
sentence (ES) to designate all and only those English sentences in
which there appears an occurrence of the unstressed, non-deictic,
'existential' there. Thus the term will be used as a
characterisation of a class of syntactic objects, not as a semantic
description. With ES sentences including formations such as 'There
were several people talking' and 'There ensued a riot', perhaps
nowhere else do we find so clearly displayed the complexity and
subtlety of the syntactic and semantic interactions which determine
the nature of human language.
