Felicitous Underspecification

Contextually Sensitive Expressions Lacking Unique Semantic Values in Context

Buch

This book argues that contextually sensitive expressions have felicitous uses in which they lack unique semantic values in context. It formulates a rule for updating the Stalnakerian common ground in cases in which an accepted sentence contains an expression lacking a unique semantic value in context.
