What Is Wrong with ‘All Lives Matter’? What and How ‘Black Lives Matter’ Means
I use a simplified version of Stalnaker's model of conversation to provide an explanation of what and how speakers who utter ‘Black lives matter’ mean. My explanation reveals that such utterances prompt an under‐appreciated form of presupposition accommodation, which I dub negative accommodation. I demonstrate with an analogous example how by exploiting an interpreter's ability to negatively accommodate an otherwise infelicitous utterance, a spea…
Sometimes Some Things Don’t (Really) Exist
To solve the referential sub-problem of negative existentials one must explain why we interpret uses of, e.g., ‘Sherlock Holmes doesn’t exist’ as saying something coherent and intuitively true, even though the speaker purports to refer to something. Pragmatic Meinongism solves this problem by allowing ‘does not exist’ to be pragmatically modulated to express an inclusive sense under which it can be satisfied by something. I establish three points…
Multipropositionalism and Necessary a Posteriori identity Statements
We provide an account of necessary a posteriori identity statements that relies upon Perry's multipropositionalism. On our account an utterance of, e.g., ‘Hesperus is Phosphorus', semantically makes available several propositions, one of which is necessary (and a priori ) and another of which is a posteriori (and contingent). Since our view resembles two‐dimensionalism , one might assume that it is undermined by the sorts of nesting arguments tha…

The rhetorical relations approach to indirect speech acts
Asher and Lascarides (2003) maintain that speech act types, the sorts of linguistic actions described and categorized, most influentially, by Austin (1962) and Searle (1969, 1979) are rhetorical relations . This relational account of speech acts is problematic for two reasons: Despite Asher and Lascarides (2001) ingenious appeal to dot type speech acts, the relational account is incompatible with the widespread phenomenon of indirect speech; only…
