Abstract Consider an utterance of the sentence ‘Some philosophers are from New York’. If no philosopher in the world comes from New York, competent speakers of English know that it is false. They also know that this utterance is true if six philosophers in the world come from New York. In other words, competent English speakers have dear intuitions about the conditions under which what is said by an utterance of this sentence is true or false. The apparent source of such intuitions is not difficult to locate. Competent English speakers know the meanings of the words in the sentence ‘Some philosophers are from New York.’ They also know how to combine the meanings of each of the words in this sentence to arrive at what is said by the utterance of the sentence, ‘Some philosophers are from New York.’
