Annotation

An attempt to grasp aspects of the context-dependence of language in a logical system. The 'pragmatic language' that M. builds up is an extended predicate logic which contains expressions (especially intensional operators) the interpretation of which also depends on the context of use (e.g. 'necessarily', 'I', 'here', 'now', etc.).
