I present an analysis of the interpretation of anaphora that takes concepts from type-theoretic semantics, in particular the use of the Sigma and Pi dependent type constructors, and incorporates them into a model-theoretic ...

Glue Semantics is a theory of the syntax-semantics interface according to which the syntactic structure of a sentence produces premises in a fragment of linear logic, and the semantic interpretation(s) of the sentence ...

Epos er ikke bare den eldste sjangeren innen gresk litteratur, men også den mest varige og innflytelsesrike. Eposet fungerer som et rammeverk for den antikke greske litteraturhistorien med verker som Homers Iliaden og ...

This chapter is an introduction to how the combination of two views – semantic minimalism and speech act pluralism (‘SM+SAP’, for short) – can be used to explain some aspects of our practice of making knowledge attributions. ...

We often speak as if there are merely possible people—for example, when we make such claims as that most possible people are never going to be born. Yet most metaphysicians deny that anything is both possibly a person and ...

This paper investigates a subtype of systematic polysemy which in English (and several other languages) appears to rest on the distinction between count and mass uses of nouns (e.g., shoot a rabbit/eat rabbit/wear rabbit). ...

Denne artikkelen viser hvordan et av de estetiske aspektene ved bilder, nemlig det mimetiske aspektet, kan redegjøres for ved hjelp av en persepsjonsteori for bilder. Dette utgjør et eksempel på hvordan persepsjonsfilosofi ...

In this paper I explore the idea that Glue Semantics enriched with additional unary connectives could provide a natural account of some (positive) locality conditions on binding. I argue that the additional connectives can ...

In the first book of the Transcendental Dialectic we find Kant’s criticism of four syllogistic proofs about the soul. On his view the proofs are formally invalid. Hence, as opposed to the view of their proponents – the ...

Given the grim global statistics of extreme poverty and socioeconomic inequalities, moral and political philosophers have focused on the duties of justice and assistance that arise therefrom. What the needy are morally ...

In her very interesting ‘First-personal modes of presentation and the problem of empathy’ (2017, 315–336), L. A. Paul argues that the phenomenon of empathy gives us reason to care about the first person point of view: that ...

Robert Stalnaker has recently advocated propositional contingentism, the claim that it is contingent what propositions there are. He has proposed a philosophical theory of contingency in what propositions there are and ...

The models of contingency in what propositions, properties and relations there are developed in Part 1 are related to models of contingency in what propositions there are due to Robert Stalnaker. It is shown that some but ...

The linguistic turn provided philosophers with a range of reasons for engaging in careful investigation into the nature and structure of language. However, the linguistic turn is dead. The arguments for it have been abandoned ...

Two expressive limitations of an infinitary higher-order modal language interpreted on models for higher-order contingentism – the thesis that it is contingent what propositions, properties and relations there are – are ...

Well-known results due to David Makinson show that there are exactly two Post complete normal modal logics, that in both of them, the modal operator is truthfunctional, and that every consistent normal modal logic can be ...

A formal result is proved which is used in Juhani Yli-Vakkuri’s ‘Epistemicism and Modality’ to argue that certain two-dimensional possible world models are inadequate for a language with operators for ‘necessarily’, ...

This paper is a study of higher-order contingentism – the view, roughly, that it is contingent what properties and propositions there are. We explore the motivations for this view and various ways in which it might be ...

Color adjectives tend to be used redundantly in referential communication. I propose that redundant color adjectives (RCAs) are often intended to exploit a color contrast in the visual context and hence facilitate object ...

The article explores the brief, but ardent history of the Scandinavian Design Students Organization (SDO) in the late 1960s. Dissatisfied with contemporary design practice and education, a group of students aimed to ...

It is often assumed that we are only blameworthy for that over which we have control. In recent years, however, several philosophers have argued that we can be blameworthy for occurrences that appear to be outside our ...

The papyrus is incomplete, the bottom is missing. Traces of a few faded letters of a previous text are recognizable e.g. in l. 2. The hand is a rather practiced semi-cursive, which can be compared to P.Prag. I 45 (522), ...

Top and left hand margin preserved. The writing is a practiced cursive. Although the sample is limited, the script is comparable to P.Tebt. II 308 (Tebtynis, 174) or to P.Harrauer 34 (ca. 147), which supports a date into ...

In case of a catastrophe, an EXIT-sign mounted in an exhibition at MoMA in 1972 would lead the audience to safety. How can this sign be studied? Is it possible to empirically approach this sign based on different ontology? ...

I consider the first-order modal logic which counts as valid those sentences which are true on every interpretation of the non-logical constants. Based on the assumptions that it is necessary what individuals there are and ...

A new puzzle of modal recombination is presented which relies purely on resources of first-order modal logic. It shows that naive recombinatorial reasoning, which has previously been shown to be inconsistent with various ...

According to propositional contingentism, it is contingent what propositions there are. This paper presents two ways of modeling contingency in what propositions there are using two classes of possible worlds models. The ...

The impossibility theorem of Dekel, Lipman and Rustichini has been thought to demonstrate that standard state-space models cannot be used to represent unawareness. We first show that Dekel, Lipman and Rustichini do not ...

The hedonistic theories of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are both widely known. Hedonism before Bentham, however, is much less known and, hitherto, no systematic presentation of hedonism's early history has been ...

Luck egalitarianism originated in an attempt to respond to the conservative objection that egalitarianism fails to respect the value of responsibility. In response, luck egalitarians have introduced a distinction between ...

This paper has two central goals. The first is to argue for the metaphysical thesis that there is no such phenomenon as genericity, i.e., to argue for a form of eliminativism about genericity. The second is to defend a ...

This paper offers three objections to Leslie’s recent and already influential theory of generics (Leslie in Philos Perspect 21(1):375–403, 2007a, Philos Rev 117(1):1–47, 2008): (i) her proposed metaphysical truth-conditions ...

This paper argues for an account of insincerity in speech according to which an utterance is insincere if and only if it communicates something that does not correspond to the speaker's conscious attitudes. Two main topics ...

Some dynamic semantic theories include an attempt to derive truth-conditional meaning from context change potential. This implies defining truth in terms of context change. Focusing on presuppositions and epistemic modals, ...

In this paper it is argued that we should not give money to beggars. Rather than spending our welfare budget on the people whom we happen to pass by on the street, we should spend it on those who are genuinely poor and who ...

The paper argues that the correct definition of lying is that to lie is to assert something one believes to be false, where assertion is understood in terms of the notion of the common ground of a conversation. It is shown ...

This paper considers what light experimental work on the development of irony comprehension can shed on the relation between echoic and pretence accounts of irony, and how theoretical debates about the nature of irony might ...
