Semantic research on generics has centered on the existence of a determiner in a generic NP because generics are mostly presented in bare plurals in English and in definite NPs in Romance languages. Hence, generic sentences in languages without determiners require special treatment. This study reviews previous theoretical analyses of generic interpretations in determiner-less languages and proposes that countability in Korean is determined by humanness. Given the distinction between count and mass nouns, generic interpretations in Korean reveal patterns similar to those found in English.
