abstract

  • Dynamic approaches to semantics like Floris Roelofsen’s can be contrasted to mentalunderstanding, representational and inferentialist approaches–each of which has its distinctive problems. Roelofsen has advanced a promising proposal within his dynamic approach that indefinite pronouns like somewhere share with wh-words like where an indeterminate reference (e.g. to a place) but add exclusion of the null value (e.g. the value nowhere).
