Analyticity and modulation

Abstract Acceptable analyticities, i.e. contradictions or tautologies, constitute problematic evidence for the idea that language includes a deductive system. In recent discussion, two accounts have been presented in literature to explain available evidence. According one of accounts, grammatical analyticities are accessible system but pragmatic strengthening repair mechanism can apply and prevent structures from being actually interpreted as tautologies.

Our observation concerns acceptable lexical cannot rescued if only strategy is
