There is this section in Korta's & Perry's entry for 'pragmatics' in their online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. It relates to J on 'pavo'. As J notes, the 'pavo' (turkey) has nothing to do with Turkey OR the peacock. Still, since it's beliefs that count, not knowledge -- the moral is that in language, things mostly work via what J calls a 'linguistic error'! Or not!
