Sortal

Sortal is a concept used by some philosophers in discussing issues of identity, persistence, and change. Sortal terms are considered a species of general term that are classified within the grammatical category of common or count nouns or count noun phrases.^[1] This is based on the claim that a perceptual link allows perceptual demonstrative thought if it enables sortal classification.^[2]
