| summary | Metalinguistic approaches to names hold that proper names are semantically associated with name-bearing properties. I argue that in contrast to what is normally assumed, metalinguistic theorists owe us an account of the metaphysics of name-bearing properties. The only plausible account of name-bearing would treat name-bearing properties as a species of response-dependent property. I outline how such an account should look, drawing on forms of response-dependence identified in the literature on colour and moral properties. |
