'Confronting Grammatical Properties'
5.00 PM, Tuesday, 27. March, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
Abstract
What is the status of grammatical properties? I begin by suggesting
some reasons for thinking that our ordinary experience of grammatical
properties is akin to our experience of mind-independent properties. I
then consider a line of argument, derived from scientific linguistics,
that suggests grammatical properties could not be mind-independent. I
then sketch a line of response to the latter argument.
