摘要:In “Propositions: What They Could and What They Could Not Be”, Massimiliano Vignolo counters the arguments put forward by Stephen Schiffer (“The Things We Mean”) against the so-called Fregean model of ‘that’-clauses. My purpose here is to show that some of Vignolo’s objections to Schiffer’s arguments do not hit the mark. I shall also present a new argument against the Fregean model, which takes its cue from two of Schiffer’s arguments.
