Pragmatic Attitudes and Semantic Competence
In this paper I argue against the account Soames offers in Beyond Rigidity of the semantics and pragmatics of propositional attitude reports. I defend a particular constraint for identifying semantic content of phrases based on conditions for semantic competence, and argue that failure of substitutivity is an essential component of our competence conditions with propositional attitude predicate...
متن کاملPragmatic inference in definite and indefinite contexts
Previous studies have shown that children have difficulty inferring intended referents of definite/indefinite determiners: e.g., that ”Give me the ball” implies a specific ball, while ”Give me a ball” requests any ball from a larger set.

According to the convergence view (and local holism which supports it) the meaning of a sentence is the set of inferences to which speakers c...
متن کاملUnderstanding Utterances: The Need for Pragmatic Competence
The colossal time spent on learning grammatical rules of a language may still not make a learner proficient in that language. The sociolinguistics perspectives have moved to the notion that there is more to learning a language than learning about rules and grammar.
