My research interests lie mainly in the philosophy of language, with an emphasis on the conditions for successful communication. Currently, I’m writing a paper on Loar’s puzzle for communication, which raises the question whether there is anything more to successful communication than referring to the same objects. In particular, I critically assess the view that speakers need not think in any relevantly similar way about said objects, as long as they know that they co-refer to them.
