The Mechanism
View through CrossRef
In this chapter a theory is developed of how we use ‘grey’ in ‘The patch looks grey to you’ to refer to the way of looking w. The author proposes that we exploit a general mechanism that we have for referring to ways of occurring by expressing properties. We might refer to a certain way of walking by expressing the property of being proud (perhaps using the adjective ‘proud’). So too, we might refer to a certain way of looking by expressing the property of being grey, and that’s what we do, the author proposes, with ‘grey’ in ‘The patch looks grey to you’.
