摘要
In this paper, I discuss some issues about the concept of context in the philosophy of language. The focus of discussions of context in this field is in the topic of indexicals and demonstratives. The classic account is due to David Kaplan. Lately, Stefano Predelli has developed examples that threaten Kaplan's account, and suggested some amendments to it. Here, I discuss Predelli's cases, and relate them to the theory I have recently developed in my book (Perry, John, 2001. Reference and Reflexivity. CSLI Publications, Stanford).
