Abstract

The present paper considers certain obviously valid types of inferences involving indirect speech reports, and argues that their validity is incompatible with Davidson’s so-called “paratactic” analysis of the logical form of such reports (Davidson 1969). It further claims that this particular failure of the Davidsonian analysis has a special significance for Davidson’s overall project of using what he terms a “Tarski-style” truth theory as a theory of natural language meaning (Davidson 1967): that project assumes that grasp of the concepts of truth and falsity is essential to natural language interpretation, yet Davidson’s analysis cannot characterize as valid certain natural language inferences whose recognition as valid is arguably constitutive of one’s grasp of the concepts of truth and falsity.

1. 真假归因与间接语篇的意合分析

本文考虑了涉及间接言语转述的某些明显有效的推断类型，并认为它们的有效性与戴维森对这种转述的逻辑形式的所谓“意合”分析是不相容的(戴维森1969)。它进一步声称，戴维森分析的这种特殊失败对戴维森使用他所谓的“塔斯基式”真理理论作为自然语言意义理论的整体计划具有特殊意义(戴维森1967):该项目假设对真假概念的掌握是自然语言解释的必要条件，然而戴维森的分析不能将某些自然语言推断定性为有效，而这些推断的有效认识可以说是一个人对真假概念的掌握的组成部分。

期刊介绍： Logique et Analyse is the continuation of Bulletin Intérieur, which was published from 1954 on by the Belgian National Centre for Logical Investigation, and intended originally only as an internal publication of results for its members and collaborators. Since the start of the new series, in 1958, however, the journal has been open to external submissions (and subscriptions). Logique et Analyse itself subscribes to no particular logical or philosophical doctrine, and so is open to articles from all points of view, provided only that they concern the designated subject matter of the journal.
