Linguistic and Philosophical Intuitions and the Core-Periphery Distinction'. To appear in Nefdt, R., Dupre, G., & Stanton, K. (eds.) The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Linguistics, Oxford University Press.

Abstract: Throughout history, philosophers have drawn on language to clarify or uncover philosophically relevant intuitions, making a tacit distincion between core and periphery of language. This paper argues that such intuitions have the same status as linguistic intuitions, neither of which has the status of belief or even acceptance.
