Indexicality and The Answering Machine Paradox†
Philosophy Compass 8 (6):580-592 (2013)
Abstract
AbstractAnswering machines and other types of recording devices present prima facie problems for traditional theories of the meaning of indexicals. The present essay explores a range of semantic and pragmatic responses to these issues. Careful attention to the difficulties posed by recordings promises to help enlighten the boundaries between semantics and pragmatics more broadly.My notes
