SUMMARY:Ram Neta: "Puzzle of Transparency"
DESCRIPTION:The Puzzle of Transparency\nAs you and I are out for a walk\, I notice that the sky is getting cloudier and so I ask you “do you believe that it’s going to rain?” In response to this question\, you normally do not pay attention to your own states of mind\, but rather to the way the sky looks and the air feels. But if I’m asking about what you believe\, then shouldn’t you pay attention to your own state of mind\, instead of to your perceptible environment? Some philosophers claim that\, when I utter the interrogative sentence “do you believe that it’s going to rain?”\, I’m not curious about your state of mind\, but only about the weather. But this is false: I could ask you the very same question even if I happen to know perfectly well that it’s going to rain\, and I’m just curious what you make of the current weather conditions. So\, if I’m asking about your beliefs\, why do you normally answer me by paying attention to the weather instead of paying attention to your state of mind? In order to answer this question\, I argue\, we will have to admit that the capacity to represent one’s own mental states can make a metaphysical difference to the nature of those states. \n  \nRam Neta is a Professor of Philosophy at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He specializes in epistemology and is currently at work on a book on the nature of knowledge. In particular\, he is trying to understand what knowledge is by examining the various ways in which knowing some things depends upon knowing other things. \n  \nAdvanced Reading: The Puzzle of Transparency

SUMMARY:Martina Wiltschko: "Nominal speech act structure. A personal view."
DESCRIPTION:The concept of person is in many ways tied to speech acts. This is obvious just by exploring the interpretation of\npronouns: 1st person pronouns are used to refer to the speaker\, 2nd person pronouns are used to refer to the addressee\,\nand 3rd person is used for individuals other than the speech act participants. Another way in which person plays a\nrole for speech acts has to with the fact that in much of the current literature that seeks to “syntacticize speech acts”\n(Ross 1970\, Speas and Tenny 2003\, Zu 2013\, Miyagawa 2017\, a.o.) speech act participants are part of the syntactic\nrepresentation of sentences\, as evidenced\, for example\, by speaker or addressee-agreement. However\, 1st and\n2nd person pronouns can receive an impersonal interpretation (Gruber 2013\, Zobel 2014) while still triggering\ngrammatical agreement for 1st and 2nd person. This suggests that there are at least two notions of person: one purely\ngrammatical and the other pragmatic in nature. \nIn this talk I examine yet another way in which person may be tied to speech acts. In particular\, assuming the well-\nestablished parallel between the functional architecture of clauses and nominal projections (Chomsky 1970\, Abney \n1987\, Grimshaw 2005\, Rijkhoff 2008)\, we might expect that – just as clauses – nominal projections too are\ndominated by a dedicated speech act structure. Specifically\, I will argue that the arguments of (clausal and nominal)\nspeech act structure do not correspond to speech act participants directly\, but instead they correspond to each speech\nact participant’s ‘ground’ – hence I assume a speaker- and addressee-oriented projection. The function of this layer\nof structure is to encode the mutual process of grounding – the joint activity which allows interlocutors to establish\ncommon ground. To support this hypothesis\, I review literature from dialogue based frameworks according to which\nreferring to an individual is a collaborative effort between speaker and addressee (Clark and Wilkes-Gibbs 1986\,\nClark and Bangerter 2004). With this as my background assumption\, I discuss the implications of the nominal\nspeech act hypothesis for a number of empirical phenomena including: impersonals\, logophors\, and social deixis. \nMartina Wiltschko is Professor of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia.
