 Despite its greater flexibility, however, Brandom’s account still faces the central worry confronting prosentential views, namely that truth-talk really does seem predicative, and not just in its surface grammatical form but in our inferential practices with it as well. In arguing for the superiority of his view over that of Grover, et al., Brandom states that “[t]he account of truth talk should bear the weight of … divergence of logical from grammatical form only if no similarly adequate account can be constructed that lacks this feature” (ibid., 304). One might find it plausible to extend this principle beyond grammatical form, to behavior in inferences as well. This is an abiding concern for attempts to resist inflationism by rejecting its initial assumption, namely, that the alethic locutions function as predicates.
