You just can't tell: An analysis of the non-specific use of indexicals
Nordic Journal of Philosophical Logic 6 (2):103-118 (2001)
Abstract
In this paper I provide a semantic analysis of non-specific uses of indexical expressions, such as "you" in typical utterances of "you just can't tell". My treatment employs independently motivated conceptual tools, such as the treatment of generics within Discourse Representation Theory, and the distinction between context of utterance and context of interpretation.Author's Profile
