Speech acts, common ground and commitments
This paper argues that we cannot let the common ground do double duty. If we believe that both Stalnaker’s and Clark’s projects, on the one hand, and that of Peirce, Hamblin, Brandom and Geurts, on the other, capture important aspects of communication, two sets need to be distinguished: the set of common beliefs to capture the fact that we usually formulate our utterances based on what we assume is common belief between us and our interlocutors, …

The landscape of speech reporting
Languages offer various ways to report what someone said. There is now a vast but heterogeneous literature on speech report constructions scattered throughout the semantics literature. We offer a bird’s eye view of the entire landscape of reporting and propose a classification along two dimensions: at-issue vs. not-at-issue, and eventive vs. non-eventive. This bird’s eye perspective leads to genuinely new insights, for instance on the nature of q…
Factors licensing embedded present tense in speech reports
According to Ogihara (1995), the usage of the embedded present in a speech reportsuch as John said that Mary is in the room is restricted by the cause of John’s belief (the statethat made John think that Mary is in the room): the present tense can be used only if thiscause still holds at the time that John said that Mary is in the room is uttered. This paperpresents experimental evidence demonstrating that this is only one of the factors that lic…
Reporting Someone Else's Speech
This article provides a pragma-semantic account of the oblique optative and accusative-and-infinitive in Ancient Greek. The proposed account analyses certain seemingly anomalous uses as special cases of a general meaning. The core idea is that we view their contribution as one of the presupposition triggers. The presupposed information that they trigger is that the content of the clause is said by someone. This analysis is then used to explain th…
Tense in Ancient Greek Reports
This paper shows that tenses in Ancient Greek reports have both an anaphoric and a shifted-indexical component. It develops a new account of Ancient Greek tenses that deals with this combination of features. Following Klein's (1994) semantics of tense, I claim that tense indicates the relation between an anaphoric topic time and the moment of utterance, the now . As for Ancient Greek indirect discourse, I argue that the anaphoric component works …
Temporal anaphora across and inside sentences
The paper offers a formal account of the discourse behaviour of participles, which to some extent behave like main clauses in having semantically undetermined relations to their matrix clause, but which should nevertheless be integrated into the compositional semantics of complex sentences. The theory is developed on the basis of Ancient Greek participles and offers an account of their syntax, semantics and discourse behaviour (focusing on the te…
