Deferred Reference of Proper Names

چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we argue that proper names have deferred uses. Following Geoffrey Nunberg, describe the reference mechanism by which a linguistic expression refers to something in world exploiting contextually salient relation between an index and referent question. Nunberg offered thorough analysis of uses indexicals but claimed do not permit such We, however, offer number examples pass grammatical tests for usage, as put forward Nunberg.

Deferred Utterances and Proper Contexts
1 Proper contexts Frege (1918-1919) famously makes a caveat concerning his doctrine of sense and reference: there are some special expressions like 'here', 'today' and 'that', that cannot by themselves express senses (and, therefore, cannot have references). Something else is necessary, namely, the extra-linguistic context in which the particular tokens of words of this kind occur. Therefore, i...

متن کاملdirect reference theory and the substitutivity of co-referent proper names in propositional attitude sentences
inadequacy of descriptive theories to account for the mechanism of reference led to the emergence of the direct reference theory. this theory, however, has its own problems. if the only component of the meaning of a proper name is its referent, then how is it that the substitution of two co-referent proper names in propositional attitude sentences changes the truth value of the sentence? the pr...
متن کاملSearching Proper Names in Databases
Identifying names — e.g., author names or company names — is still an open problem. In this paper we review known similarity measures. These measures deal with phonetic similarity, typing errors and plain string similarity. We show experimentally that all three approaches lead to significant better retrieval quality than plain identity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that combinations of different...
متن کاملProper Names and Linguistic Dynamics
Pragmatics is the study of how people exchange meanings through the use of language. In this paper we describe our experience with regard to texts belonging to a large contemporary corpus of written language, in order to verify the uses, changes and flexibility of the meaning of Proper Names (PN). As a matter of fact, while building the lexical semantic database ItalWordNet (IWN), a considerabl...
