- W2892007473 abstract "This paper aims to defend what could be called the current theory of indexicals, and more specifically the first and second person pronouns, against a peculiar type of counter-examples which might be invoked against it. Very roughly, the current theory of indexicals (based on Kaplan 1977) says that I or you are interpreted not through a conceptual “description” which would be lexically linked to them (i.e. would be their semantic content), such as the speaker or the adressee of the present utterance, but rather through a specific procedure, lexically linked to them, such as look for the speaker or look for the adressee. These procedures would be their (non-conceptual and non-descriptive) semantic content. This analysis means that any utterance where an indexical occurs and where it is ambiguous as to whom the indexical refers to may be used as a counter-example if certain conditions are realised: the analysis of indexicals being what it is, if the situation is clearly perceived (i.e. if it is clear who is the speaker and who is the adressee), it should not be possible for an indexical to be ambiguous. Thus, authentic examples of ambiguity in indexicals are ipso facto counter-examples to the current theory of indexicals. I will first distinguish between mere misunderstandings and what appear to be authentic examples of ambiguity, such as the title of this paper (If I were you, I wouldn't trust myself). I will show that these examples mainly occur in the consequents of counterfactuals whose antecedents are identity statements (where indexicals occur) and show the proximity between these counterfactuals and counteridenticals. I then will show that the antecedents are used non-literally and that the “ambiguity” of the indexicals in the consequents comes from the difficulty of choosing which specific implication the speaker intended the hearer to recover. Thus, the so-called ambiguity of indexicals in the consequent of such counterfactuals reduces to a misunderstanding as to the description of the situation to which the procedure attached to the indexicals should be applied." @default.
