For M 11/5, please read the following two articles, which may both be downloaded from the “Readings” section of this website.

1.  Stalnaker, Robert C. 1974. Pragmatic presuppositions. In Milton K. Munitz and Peter K. Unger (eds.), Semantics and Philosophy, 197-213. New York: New York University Press. (Reprinted in Stalnaker 1999, 47-62.)

2.  Lewis, David. 1979. Scorekeeping in a language game. Journal of Philosophical Logic 8: 339-359.

(Note:  For the Lewis paper, only pgs. 339-353 are required.  If you are feeling adventurous, you can read through to the end of the paper, but the final pages introduce some complications that will not be relevant for our purposes.)
