SUMMARY:Semantic deference vs semantic coordination
DESCRIPTION:It&rsquo\;s widely accepted that social facts about an individu
 al&rsquo\;s linguistic community can affect both the reference of her word
 s and the concepts (or idiolect meanings) those words express. Putnam and 
 Burge took these social dependence claims to constitute a radical departur
 e from traditional accounts of the determination of reference and the indi
 viduation of representational state types. But theorists sympathetic to th
 e internalist tradition have argued that they can explain the data without
  altering their core theoretical commitments. All that Putnam and Burge ha
 ve shown\, they contend\, is that some concepts are deferential: the subje
 ct&rsquo\;s criteria for applying the concept appeal to facts about her ac
 tual social environment. On this view\, semantic facts still depend in a s
 traightforward way on an individual&rsquo\;s internal states. In this pape
 r\, I sketch a different explanation of social dependence phenomena\, acco
 rding to which all concepts are individuated in part by facts about the su
 bject&rsquo\;s social and historical environment. This account\, I suggest
 \, fits better with the epistemic motivations behind the original external
 ist arguments.
