 Let’s call expressions whose occasion meaning sometimes deviates from their standing meaning context-dependent. The scope of context-dependent lexical items is a matter of controversy. On the one extreme, there are semantic minimalists who think these include only a handful expressions: the personal and demonstrative pronouns, a few adverbs (e.g., ‘here’, ‘now’, ‘next’), and a few adjectives (e.g.‘actual’, ‘present‘, ‘local’); cf. Cappelen and Lepore (2005). On the other extreme are radical contextualists who think essentially all lexical items are context-dependent; e.g., Searle (1980). As usual, most theorists are somewhere in the middle—taking heat from both sides that their view is untenable.
