 So, in particular, we will suppress questions about the relation between the compositional semantic values of natural language sentences in context and the doxastic states of sincere speakers and credulous addressees. We’ll do this not because we find the issues unimportant or uninteresting—quite the contrary! Rather, we want to avoid swimming into deep waters about exactly what the relevant communication-supporting relations are, what they have to do with semantics, etc., and also to keep the discussion at a level of abstraction compatible with as many particular theories of the phenomena as possible. (See Stanley 1997, 2002; Yalcin 2007; Ninan 2010a, 2012a; and Rabern 2012, 2017 for some exploration of those deep waters, and see for example Egan, Hawthorne, &amp; Weatherson 2005; Egan 2007, 2010, 2012; Stalnaker 2008, 2011; Feit 2008; Torre 2010; Ninan 2010b, Stojanovic 2012; Moss 2012; Kindermann 2012, 2016, 2019; Weber 2013, 2015; Kölbel 2013; and Recanati 2016 for less cagey and more committal discussions of these issues around self-locating communication.)
