    Quotation Cappelen, Herman 2009

  • Cappelen and Lepore (2005) have argued that the boundary of semantics must be drawn very narrowly: if we freely follow intuitions about what is said by means of some sentence in different scenarios, we are on a slippery slope and cannot in the end draw any line at all.

  • For instance, Cappelen and Lepore (2005) use arguments from assertion ascriptions against the view that comparative adjectives are indexical.

    Again 2009

  • Cappelen and Lepore say that the content of ˜rich™ in every context is simply the property of being rich (period).

    Again 2009

  • Other philosophers, such as Richard (2004) and McFarlane (2007), have similar concerns about comparative adjectives in attitude ascriptions, but they (unlike Cappelen and Lepore) conclude that the truth of a sentence must be relativized to untraditional parameters, such as standards of wealth.

    Again 2009

  • However, Cappelen and Lepore still claim that the semantic content is asserted, since this is what connects speech act content with sentence meaning.
