 Moreover, the Lewisian view seems to be a form of semantic platonism (Child 2011: 126), in so far as it upholds the idea that our meaning what we do by our words is somehow guaranteed by the structure of reality. But it might be taken to be a radical form of semantic platonism, in so far as it seems to leave no room for the speaker’s contribution to the singling out of properties (see  section 3.3).  Unlike other versions of semantic platonism, it is vulnerable to a complaint to the effect that the subjective perspective of the thinker or speaker is entirely annihilated.
