These are interesting issues I thought of when I read your email. So do 20-year-olds *act* in a a particular way? Clearly their age alone provides a *role* as a "20-year-old", but is there any particular *relationship* they are a *participant-of*, that they aren't a *participant-of* when they are not a "20-year-old" ? What boundary conditions arise around the the 20-year-old *role*? What metaphor best describes the role ? is the twenty-year-old role a *container*? is the twenty-year-old role a *place* ? is the twenty-year-old role a *path* ?
Are there particular things that 20-year-olds *do *that non 20-year-olds don't *do* ? Are there particular things that 20-year-olds *can do *that non 20-year-olds *can't* do ?
