Abstract

: In this brief note, I offer some considerations to the effect of arguing (i) that Duffley's criticism to formal semantics is based on a dogma about the proper nature of the linguistic sing, and (ii) that, even when I agree with the general spirit of his realizational theory of meaning, an explicit theory of how syntax affects meanings realization is missing. I would editors of Manuscrito for to of course, for I book. anonymous this brief note is readable, is thanks to my and friend, Eleonora who provided myriad of style suggestions. As usual, Verónica Ferri did an excellent job proofreading this paper.
