    • 2007 November 29, Manfred Kupffer, “An Unintentional Defense of the Indeterminacy of Meaning?”, in Erkenntnis, volume 68, number 2, DOI:10.1007/s10670-007-9090-x:
      If you want to assume the context principle both for a language L and a sub-language L ′ and avoid contradictions, this relativisation is vital, for it is not guaranteed that two expressions that are synonymous in L ′ will stay synonymous in L , even if the interpretation of the sentences of L ′ stays the same and L and L ′ satisfy the context principle.
