“…The restriction to vivid acquaintance functions is designed to avoid the so-called 'shortest-spy problem'. Aloni (2005) argues that vividness is actually the wrong notion: the relevant acquaintance functions (relations) should instead be non-trivializing. We are happy to adopt this; near as we can see, it's orthogonal to our arguments.…”

An empirical argument is given in support of Percus & Sauerland's (2003) theory of 'de re' ascription, according to which the internal argument of believe is a function from concept-generators to propositions. The argument concerns pronouns in the scope of attitude verbs that are interpreted both 'de re' and as bound variables. It is argued that more traditional theories of 'de re' ascription -specifically, theories that take the 'res' to be an internal argument of believe -fail to account for such pronouns, as they predict that a pronoun cannot simultaneously be an argument of believe and bound by a quantifier in the scope of believe.

“…Sosa (1970) offers a number of examples where representations that fail to be acquaintance-based seem eligible to witness the truth of de re reports. Further examples to similar effect are discussed by Bonomi (1995), Aloni (2005), and Hawthorne and Manley (2012) among others. See Kripke (2011) for criticism of Sosa's arguments.…”

“…I borrow this term from Aloni (2005), but the notion should not be confused with Aloni's more elaborate notion of a "conceptual cover." Aloni imposes certain restrictions on conceptual covers that I won't adopt for conceptual repertoires.…”

Cumming (2008) argues that his Masked Ball problem undermines Millianism, and that we must instead treat names as variables. However, although the Masked Ball does pose a problem for the Millian given a standard view about the meaning of 'believes', that view faces difficulties for independent reasons. I develop a novel "neo-Kaplanian" attitude semantics to address this problem, and go on to show that with this alternative semantics in hand, the Millian is quite capable of accounting for the Masked Ball.

“…Even here quantified epistemic modality or epistemic modality de re has not been of primary focus-yet important explorations in this vein include Gerbrandy (1997), Gerbrandy (2000), Aloni (2005), Yalcin (2015), Swanson (2010), Chalmers (2011), and Ninan (forthcoming), "Quantification and Epistemic Modality".…”
