The "Fodor"-FODOR fallacy bites back
The paper argues that Fodor and Lepore are misguided in their attack on Pustejovsky’s Generative Lexicon, largely because their argument rests on a traditional, but implausible and discredited, view of the lexicon on which it is e ectively empty of content, a view that stands in the long line of explaining word meaning (a) by ostension and then (b) explaining it by means of a vacuous symbol in ...
متن کاملDemonstratives in Philosophy and Linguistics
Demonstrative noun phrases (e.g., that guy, this) are of interest to philosophers of language and semanticists because they are sensitive to demonstrations or speaker intentions.

This article explores the contrastive function of demonstratives in two languages, Tiriyó (Cariban, northern Brazil) and Lavukaleve (Papuan isolate, Solomon Islands). The contrastive function has to a large extent been neglected in the theoretical literature on demonstrative functions, although preliminary investigations suggest that there are significant di¤erences in demonstrative use in cont...
