The Semantics‐Pragmatics Boundary
Linguists and philosophers of language have characterized the semantics‐pragmatics distinction in many different ways. A couple of the more prominent characterizations are presented and some of their shortcomings are noted. The idea that the semantics‐pragmatics boundary is porous, as well as the consequences of this porosity, are briefly explored.

In this article we propose a more radical solution to the problem identified by Wolfgang Klein 35 years ago of an increasing disparity between writing and reading

Children's use of contextual cues to resolve referential ambiguity: An application of Relevance Theory
Researchers interested in children's understanding of mind have claimed that the ability to ascribe beliefs and intentions is a late development, occurring well after children have learned to speak and comprehend the speech of others. On the other hand, there are convincing arguments to show that verbal communication requires the ability to attribute beliefs and intentions. Hence if one accepts the findings from research into children's understan…
Is Verbal Communication a Purely Preservative Process
In a recent paper titled Content Preservation (1993), Tyler Burge argues that certain psychological processes play a purely preservative role, and not a justificatory role. Burge's claim is that the justificatory force of the beliefs sustained by these processes is independent of features of these processes, such as their reliability. The function of these psychological processes is merely to preserve the beliefs (or rather, the propositional con…
The Communication of De Re Thoughts
Modern Philosophy of Mind
Resisting the Step Toward Naturalism
Some contemporary epistemologists, persuaded by Quine (1969), believe that epistemology is a branch of empirical psychology. And others, while they do not think that epistemology can be equated with any part of psychology, believe nevertheless that there is an intimate connection between epistemology and empirical psychology. See e.g. Goldman (1985). This naturalistic attitude is bolstered by a belief in psychologist, which I shall define as the …
