Quotation: Compositionality And Innocence Without Demonstration, Andrew Botterell, Robert J. Stainton
Quotation: Compositionality And Innocence Without Demonstration, Andrew Botterell, Robert J. Stainton
Robert J. Stainton
We discuss two kinds of quotation, namely indirect quotation (e.g., 'Anita said that Mexico is beautiful') and pure quotation (e.g., 'Mexico' has six letters). With respect to each, we have both a negative and a positive plaint. The negative plaint is that the strict Davidsonian (1968, 1979a) treatment of indirect and pure quotation cannot be correct. The positive plaint is an alternative account of how quotation of these two sorts works.

Objects, Properties, And Functions, Robert J. Stainton
Robert J. Stainton
Objects are contrasted with properties, by means of examples, non-linguistic hallmarks, and linguistic correspondents. Hard cases of objects which are in some respects akin to properties are considered, but the idea that properties simply are another kind of object is rejected. Finally, properties are seen to be interchangeable with a certain kind of function.
