DESCRIPTION:<p>A piece of received wisdom among philosophers is that successful communication requires shared content. A speaker can convey to an audience a desire for water by uttering &ldquo\;I want water&rdquo\; just in case both can coordinate on a shared content&mdash\;that the speaker desires water. Another piece of received wisdom emphasizes that competent speakers can fail to know\, and often make errors about\, the meanings of expressions without disrupting linguistic usage (Burge\, 1979\; Kripke\, 1980\; Putnam 1975). What allows them to do so is that they are situated in a network of causal/social/historical connections\, to which they defer in linguistic usage. Deferential Network Models were introduced to sidestep any clash between successful usage and &ldquo\;arguments from ignorance and error&rdquo\; (Devitt and Sterelny\, 1999). But\, given potential ignorance\, how can agents coordinate on substantive shared information successful communication presumes? How is communication possible in a world of deference?</p>
