In this paper I will put forward three objections to straightforward formulations of this idea, and argue that a change in the usual grammar of grounding claims, allowing for pluralities of sentences to express not only grounds, but also groundees, is effective in making the account immune to the objections raised.]]></p></abstract>

En este artículo expondré tres objeciones a formulaciones directas de esta idea, y argumentaré que un cambio en la gramática usual de las afirmaciones de fundamentación, que permita que pluralidades de oraciones expresen no sólo fundamentos, pero también lo que está fundamentado, es efectivo al hacer la propuesta inmune a las objeciones presentadas.]]></p></abstract>
