 This kind of account yields an alternative construal of in-the-fiction operators.  Rather than being a special kind of intensional operator, as it is on Lewis’s account, an in-the-fiction operator turns out to be a context-shifting operator.  Take someone’s utterance of the sentence ‘In Shakespeare’s Othello, Othello was jealous’.  The operator is context-shifting to the extent that the context relative to which we are to interpret the embedded sentence ‘Othello is jealous’ is different from the context of utterance of the sentence as a whole, since the latter is centered on the actual world, rather than the fictional world of Othello.  (See Recanati 2000, Predelli 2005, Bonomi 2008.  Predelli 2008 offers a variation on such accounts.)
