摘要: According to Normativism, what an expression means has immediate implications for how a subject should or may (not) employ that expression. Many view this thesis as imposing substantive constraints upon theories of linguistic meaning. In paper, I shall not consider view; instead, address the prior issue whether one accept Normativism. Against certain recent prominent lines attack common number different anti-Normativist discussions, defend both Normativist and attempt appeal platitude in its support.
