Semantic Deflationism, Public Language Meaning, and Contextual Standards of Correctness
Journal Title: Studia Semiotyczne - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper aims at providing an argument for a deflationary treatment of the notion of public language meaning. The argument is based on the notion of standards of correctness; I will try to show that as correctness assessments are context-involving, the notion of public language meaning cannot be treated as an explanatory one. An elaboration of the argument, using the notion of ground is provided. Finally, I will consider some limitations of the reasoning presented.
