• Resumen

  • Adverbialists propose to analyse sentences of the form �Jane has a blue afterimage� as �Jane afterimages blue-ly�. One commonly raised objection to adverbialism is the many-property problem, the problem of accounting for sentences that seem to ascribe more than one property to an afterimage (e.g. �Jane has a blue and square afterimage�). Plausible responses to this objection may be on offer. In this note, however, I will argue that the many-property problem resurfaces at the level of relations and that, at this level, no solution for the problem is in sight.
