IS THE PROBLEM OF CONFLICTING INTENTIONS A GENUINE PROBLEM? SOME REMARKS ON GÓMEZ-TORRENTE´S “ROADS TO REFERENCE”1 1 Research for this paper was funded by grant #2015/26344-3, São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).

Abstract

In this brief discussion piece I try to offer some considerations in favor of the so-called Simple Intention Theory of demonstratives, which is rejected by Gómez-Torrente. I try to show that the main argument offered against the Simple Intention Theory appears to be based on false data.

Keywords:
Reference; Demonstratives; Indexicals; philosophy of language
