My doctoral dissertation focused on examining the significance of speakers' intentions in metasemantics. Specifically, I challenged the idea of their semantic relevance. Additionally, I formulated a novel non-intentionalist metasemantics for demonstrative expressions, which enebles their reference to change as discourse evolves. Alongside my co-author, Tadeusz Ciecierski, we also proposed a new metasemantics for the word 'I'. On our view, the uses of this expression refer to whoever is "responsible" for the satisfaction of the felicity conditions of the speech act a given use is a part of.
Work In Progress
A paper critiquing the causal theory of reference for proper names. (early draft)
A paper on the functions of the verb 'remember' within folk epistemology. (under review)
A short note on attention-maintining and attention-calling uses of demonstratives. (early draft, further work stalled)
A paper critiquing recent attempts to argue for continuism between memory and imagination based on linguistic data. (under review)
A paper on whether demonstratives really refer as a matter of their meaning. (no draft yet)
