| summary | I’m interested in Philosophy of Language, especially the issue of context-sensitivity (broadly construed). I support relativism about several expressions (predicates of personal taste, locational expressions, etc.). My current project is to provide a temporalist semantics that incorporates "variadic functions" (functions from predicates to predicates). I’m also interested in issues related to propositions, assertion, centered content, etc.
In my recently completed PhD thesis, "The Semantics of Incomplete Content", I develop an "enhanced" relativist view about locations and judges (in connection to meteorological predicates such as "rain" and predicates of personal taste such as "tasty", respectively), combining the postulation of "unorthodox" parameters in the circumstances of evaluation (locations and judges) with the "variadic functions approach" to certain prepositional phrases and quantifier phrases that treats them as adjuncts and not as arguments. Comments welcome ! |
