Discourse Adjectives

 

In this dissertation I introduce and provide a thorough semantic analysis of iscourse Adjectives, a natural class of adjectives that I argue includes apparent, clear, evident, and obvious among its prototypical members. My main claim is that Discourse Adjectives do not provide information about the facts of the world. Rather, they are used by interlocutors to negotiate the status of propositions in a discourse.
