Richard Vallée (U Moncton): "Indexicals in Fiction"

Monday, January 25th, 2021. 5:00 pm. Venue: Black Board Collaborative online platform.

Abstract:

I explore the problem of indexicals in fiction, and I suggest a semantic view using the notion of indexed token as basic to account for such expressions. My proposal focuses on the cognitive significance of indexed tokens only, and it does not face the issue of truth of such tokens.
