Answer exаctly five оf the fоllоwing six questions. Eаch is worth 20 points. (1) Frege аnd Russell (would) disagree in various ways about the sentence “The present King of France is bald”. Explain their disagreement. (2) Description theorists and Kripke disagree in various ways about proper names (e.g., “Aristotle”, “Barack Obama”). Explain their disagreement. (3) Explain the basics of speech act theory. (Here are some ideas that you might touch on in your answer: constative versus performative utterances; felicity conditions; locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts; silencing.) (4) “There’s a garage around the corner” and “Smith is always on time and has excellent handwriting” are examples of conversational implicature that we’ve discussed. Explain (i) the general idea of conversational implicature, and (ii) for each example, both what is implied and how the audience works out the implicature, according to Grice. (5) “Juliet is the sun”. This is a metaphor. According to Elisabeth Camp’s view of metaphor, metaphorical talk has both propositional content and perspectival, non-propositional content. Explain Camp’s view of metaphor (what does the description just given mean?), along with one alternative view of metaphor (for example, non-cognitivism or contextualism). (6) Explain any two of the following: (a) amelioration and one objection to it; (b) two alleged harms of gendered family leave policies; (c) audism and one example of it; (d) embodiment as it relates to language; (e) alien content and one proposal for dealing/coping with it; (f) the context-dependence and expressiveness of taboo language; (g) novel, technology-mediated speech acts and one example of it; (h) public protest as a speech act and one type of silencing of it; (i) one alleged language-related harm of pornography. ***Each answer should be roughly two paragraphs long. Be sure to fully explain yourself.***
