superpluralism (uncountable)

   • 2021, Salvatore Florio, Øystein Linnebo, The Many and the One: A Philosophical Study of Plural Logic, Oxford University Press, page 174:

     Superplurals have come up time and again in the preceding chapters. We have observed on several occasions that the expressive resources afforded by superplurals would have useful applications.

Superpluralism is contrasted with singularism, the view that plural terms refer to set-like objects. Defenders of superpluralism argue that superplural reference is intelligible and realized in natural language, while skeptics contend that higher-level plural reference is unintelligible or eliminable.
