SUMMARY:Double World Indexing
DESCRIPTION:My talk will be focused on the expressive power of double-index
 ed modal languages. Languages of this kind employ intensional operators th
 at draw a distinction between worlds/times of utterance and world/times of
  evaluation. According to an influential line of thought\, such languages 
 cannot express the truth-conditions of a wide class of English sentences. 
 In order for them to capture the full expressive power of English &ndash\;
 the argument goes&ndash\;\, it is necessary to abandon double indexing in 
 favor of multiple indexing. In previous work\, I have defended double temp
 oral indexing from this objection. In this talk I will argue that the obje
 ction is also inconclusive as an argument against double world indexing. A
 ppearances notwithstanding\, the English sentences that allegedly motivate
  the postulation of more than two worlds in the semantics can be accounted
  for in a double-world-index framework.
