The results of our experiments challenge the dominant view in philosophy of language, according to which ... role speakers’ intentions play in determining reference, i.e. the semantic value of an expression like ‘‘this’’, ‘‘that’’, ‘‘this F’’, etc., in a context.

This paper discusses a set of observations, many of which are novel, concerning differences between the adjectival modals certain and possible and their adverbial counterparts certainly and possibly. It argues that the observations can be derived from a standard interpretation of certain/certainly as universal and possible/possibly as existential quantifiers over possible worlds...
This paper explores the idea that scalar implicatures are computed with respect to discourse referents.
