Attitude Reports, Unarticulated Constituents, and Mental Files

The notions of unarticulated constituent and mental file have been applied to problems related to language and mind in the tradition of analytic philosophy. This one-day workshop will explore these two notions and their relation to the attributions of beliefs and other attitudes. 

The topics addressed in the workshop will include:

• The semantics and pragmatics of attitude reports

• The nature and psychological role of mental files

• The content of mental files and their relation to proper names

• The motivations for positing unarticulated constituents 

• The relationship between mental files and attitude reports

• The relationship between unarticulated constituents and attitude reports
