Semantic minimalism holds that it is possible to formally determine the propositional content of any well-formed sentence just via its syntactic components and their mode of combination, appealing to contextual elements only when they are triggered by explicitly indexical expressions. The motivation for this thesis, besides explaining the productivity and systematicity of language, is to …

In Frege's "On Sense and Reference" we find a model of semantics that evidently presupposes an affirmative an…

Sentence Priority is the thesis that it is in virtue of the things we do with sentences that linguistic expressions become infused with significance. I…
This research is part of a larger investigation concerning Howard Wettstein's arguments against the idea that semantic theories should explain cognitive significance. As he points out, many anti-Fregeans are still working under Fregean assumptions: they think that any semantic theory must deal with Frege's puzzle in its various forms. I have three main objectives here. First, I intend to …
