Linguistic Meaning, Communicated Meaning and Cognitive Pragmatics (2002, background): “Stanley (2000) and Stanley & Szabo (2000) have argued that, whenever there is thought to be a constituent of explicitly communicated content which has been recovered on wholly pragmatic grounds, it is really the value of a hidden indexical element in the linguistic logical form.”
Logic in Grammar: Polarity, Free Choice, and Intervention (2013, background): “On this score, 9-qualunque nominals pattern with Positive Polarity Items like some, as discussed in Szabolcsi (2004). But, unlike some, 9-qualunque nominals are also ruled out in contexts like (27c,d), which involve a variety of nonantimorphic negatives.”
Perspective in Taste Predicates and Epistemic Modals (2011, background): “The existence of such a bound reading is the primary argument for the syntactic reality of quantifier domain restrictors in the influential discussion of Stanley and Szabó (2000).”
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: a dynamic reference work (2003, background): “Theorists have proposed contextualist theories for many other expressions, including: Conditionals (Lewis 1973, Kratzer 2012, and the entry on conditionals); deontic terms, such as ‘ought’ and ‘should’ (Lewis 1973, Kratzer 2012, Portner 2009); perspectival expressions, such as ‘come’, ‘go’, ‘left’, ”
Ellipsis Sites as Definite Descriptions (2008, background): “As emphasized in section 2.2, this recalls the structure posited for overt definite descriptions by von Fintel (1994), Stanley (2000), and Stanley and Szabó (2000), among others.”
Do all ducks lay eggs? The generic overgeneralization effect (2011, background): “…it does not apply to the entire kind, but only to one gender of the kind – just as if someone asserts ''every student passed the exam'', she would naturally be interpreted as talking about the students in her class, not about every single student in the world (Stanley, 2007; Stanley & Szabo, 2000).”
Vagueness and grammar: the semantics of relative and absolute gradable adjectives (2007, background): “If the domain of a gradable adjective can be explicitly restricted, then it is reasonable to assume that it can be implicitly restricted as well, just like the domains of other functional expressions such as quantificational determiners (von Fintel 1994; Stanley 2000; Stanley and Szabó 2000; Martı́ ”
Encoding the addressee in the syntax: evidence from English imperative subjects (2008, result): “This view is in agreement with a proposal independently made by Stanley and Szabo (2000) , who argue that domain restriction is a syntactic and semantic phenomenon, rather than a pragmatic one, and that every quantifier is associated with a variable that expresses its domain restriction.”
Modals as distributive indefinites (2008, background): “There is a precedent for this kind of idea, namely the implicit domain restriction on quantifiers (see e.g. Westerstahl 1985, von Fintel 1994, Marti 2003, Stanley and Szabo 2000).”
