 Over-generation Problems: According to Use/Identity Theories, you can do a lot with quotation. The question is whether this results in such theories running into problems of over-generation.  Take, for example, Saka’s claim that a quotation refers to an item associated with the expression. There’s only one restriction: This item cannot be the expression’s regular extension. If this is the sole restriction on what quotations can be used to refer to, we should be able to do things with quotation that there’s no evidence that we can. It could, for example, be the case that in a particular context, the (regular) extension of ‘love’, call it love, was associated with the expression ‘money’; maybe, for some reason, that association was contextually salient. Nonetheless, (37) cannot be used to say that love plays a central role in many peoples’ lives.
