Discourse Contextualism: A Framework for Contextualist Semantics and Pragmatics
representations of contexts, recall, assign specific values to variables (§3.3.6). This includes the standards variable s. Hence the inductive premise is false given any abstract context c. (For instance, if we assume a context c1 such that sc1(rich) = 100, then n = 99 provides a counterinstance: x99’s degree of wealth isn’t at least as great as the degree standard of richness in c1, but x100’s...
