Foundations of Language, 1974•JSTORThe distinction between pragmatics, semantics and syntax has been tradi tionally formulated
in terms of three factors: expressions, designata of ex pressions and speakers. It is hard to
say just how widely accepted this formulation is today among philosophers and linguists. I
have never seen it explicitly rejected. The time seems right for calling it into question. I shall
argue in this paper that the distinction, at least as traditionally formulat ed, is defective in
various respects.
