ABSTRACT
Cappelen and Lepore (henceforth, "C&L") draw attention to the under-discussed phenomenon of mixed quotation, and use this phenomenon as a touchstone for their unified account of opacity. This is a good strategy for achieving a desirable end. Building on Davidson's (1968, 1979) work, C&L offer a paratactic account of constructions like
(1) Nora said that Fido 'yelped'.
which exhibit features of both direct and indirect quotation. C&L's proposal concerning these mixed cases conjoins their treatments of direct and indirect quotation, as in(2) Nora said 'Fido yelped'.
(3) Nora said that Fido yelped.
And while C&L do not extend their proposal to propositional attitude constructions like(4) Nora believes that Fido yelped.
others (including Lepore and Loewer (1989)) have made useful suggestions on this front.
