The new issue of the Journal of Pragmatics includes a number of papers on context. Of particular interest to semantics is a new paper by “John Perry”:http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~john/.
bq. Predelli’s threatening note: contexts, utterances, and tokens in the philosophy of language, Journal of Pragmatics Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2003, Pages 373-387.
bq. Abstract: In this paper, I discuss some issues about the concept of context in the philosophy of language. The focus of discussions of context in this field is in the topic of indexicals and demonstratives. The classic account is due to David Kaplan. Lately, Stefano Predelli has developed examples that threaten Kaplan’s account, and suggested some amendments to it. Here, I discuss Predelli’s cases, and relate them to the theory I have recently developed in my book (”Perry, John, 2001. Reference and Reflexivity. CSLI Publications, Stanford”:http://cslipublications.stanford.edu/site/1575863103.html).
The new issue of Linguistics (2003, Volume 41, Issue 1) includes a paper by H.B. Drubig: “Toward a typology of focus and focus constructions”:http://www.degruyter.com/journals/linguistics/ling41_1.html.
