King and Stanley, "Semantics, Pragmatics, and the Role of Semantic Content"
Overview of three ways of drawing the semantics-pragmatics distinction: (1) Semantic skepticism: semantic content is a feature of sentence types; (2) Semantic modesty: semantic content is a property of sentence types + some severly limited range of contextual features, determined by "automatic" indexicals; (3) Semantic content is determined by sentence type + a more expansive conception of context, which includes speaker intentions. K&S argue that (3) is preferable to (1) and (2).
