The Lying Test, Ambiguity, and Determination of Content: Lying and Determination of Content
Theoria 87 (3):847-857 (2021)
Abstract
For many philosophers, the Lying Test is a reliable instrument for collecting data in semantics. Michaelson argued that the Lying Test does not fall prey to the problem with ambiguity that limits the Cancellability Test of Gricean inspiration. I contend that Michaelson's argument in favor of the Lying Test overlooks two fundamental aspects of what determine the content of an utterance.Author's Profile
