Should that be "Predelli"?
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Nottingham, definitely co-authored with Stojanovic.
Did something on "talk about fictions" which is arguably the weak spot in Grice's talk of Vacuous Names.
Yes, the paper list seems the same.
Roger
Oops. Predelli indeed. Sorry about that! I have corrected it, but with a caveat, so that your post still makes sense!
ReplyDelete(It would be silly that you correct me and then your post ceases to be meaningful, right?)
---
I actually think Grice's talk of fictional names wasn't half-bad! (implicature-as-you-please).
ReplyDeleteBut then, my reading of J. L. Borges has biased me so much about writing about fictions that I wouldn't know.
Predelli seems like a funny person. His webpage has pages of him with Einstein, Plasto, Goedel in no particular order. The funny thing is he's wearing the same hat in most of the pics.
-----
Apparently he does not believe in Grice. Which is sad for me who divides the History of Philosophy as After and Before Grice, as you may know.
----
His paper on pragmatics I think he called 'zero tolerance for pragmatics'.
----
I should have been more precise in my observation about Grice and fiction, for of course, I don't have much idea what Grice wrote about fiction.
ReplyDeleteWhat I was really commenting on was System Q, because it seems to me a weakness in System Q that it appears to exclude meaningful and true discourse about fictional entities.
This is because the semantics of non-correlating names makes them all have the same designatum (though I might have the terminology wrong there).
i.e. they all have the same meaning.
So its a very specific point, and incidentally, one very easily fixed without disruption to the rest of System Q.
Roger
And yes, I did have the terms the wrong way round I think.
ReplyDeleteVacuous names lack a designatum but do have a correlate, and all have the same correlate?
Are fictional names vacuous?
