Indexicality Readings

The three readings I mentioned in class today are available electronically:

Stalnaker: “Pragmatics”:http://semantics-online.org/pragmatics/protected/stalnaker.pdf

Kripke: “Speaker’s Reference and Semantic Reference”:http://semantics-online.org/pragmatics/protected/kripke.pdf

Fodor & Sag: “Referential and Quantificational Indefinites”:http://semantics-online.org/pragmatics/protected/fodor_sag.pdf

These are pdf-files of hand-scans, so they are large. A convenient and recommended way of getting nice copies of the Kripke and Fodor & Sag papers (and many other useful articles) is to purchase the “collection”:http://tinyurl.com/vj28 edited by Peter Ludlow from MIT Press. Stalnaker’s paper is reprinted in his collection “Context and Content”.

The Stalnaker and Kripke papers are optional readings. The Fodor & Sag paper is required (and essential for a well-rounded education in linguistics).
