WHAT ARE WORDS? COMMENTS ON KAPLAN (1990), ON HAWTHORNE AND LEPORE, AND ON THE ISSUE
2011
Overview
Bromberger comments on David Kaplan's paper, \"Words,\" and John Hawthorne and Ernest Lepore's criticism about the paper. Kaplan proposes a model according to which utterances and inscriptions are stages of words, which are the continuants made up of interpersonal stages along with some more mysterious intrapersonal stages. Each word in Kaplan's \"model\" is a growing tree-like structure made up of actual utterances and inscriptions, each of which is related to a predecessor in the structure, a predecessor that the speaker or writer intends to copy, though not necessarily exactly. Such predecessors may themselves be actual utterances or inscriptions, but they may also be icons in memory. Furthermore, each word, in Kaplan's \"model,\" is rooted in an initial stage, its first production in time. That stage does not stand as intended copy to any predecessor. Its role is to individuate the word containing its successive repetitions. Hawthorne and Lepore construe Kaplan as also viewing these structures as mereological joints of their stages.
