The Structure of Content is Not Transparent
Topoi 39 (2):425-437 (2017)
Abstract
Sentences in context have semantic contents determined by a range of factors both internal and external to speakers. I argue against the thesis that semantic content is transparent to speakers in the sense of being immediately accessible to speakers in virtue of their linguistic competence.Author's Profile
