Additional information

I should like to express my gratitude to Mark Wilson, who first brought the issues addressed in this paper to my attention and whose comments and suggestions have deeply influenced the final result; to George Wilson, whose paper ‘Pronouns and Pronomial Descriptions: A New Semantical Category’ (Philosophical Studies 45 (1984), 1–30) showed me how to view the phenomena discussed herein; to Zeno Vendler for his insightful comments and guidance; and to Michael Liston.
