abstract = {A variety of theorists have recently argued against the explanation of the semantic content
of a sentence as a minimal proposition claiming that intentional aspects of the context are often needed to
obtain a minimal proposition. Minimalists such as Borg, however, still defend intention-insensitive minimal
propositions for sentences in a narrow context and provide solutions or dissolutions against incompleteness
objections. In this paper, we show that these putative defences of propositionalism do not serve
to avoid some additional genuine objections which arise from compositional context-sensitivity. We aim
to show that there are complex expressions which compositionally demand intention-sensitive pragmatic
effects in a mandatory way and, for that reason, they provide us with evidence against the type of propositionalism
that substantiates the defence of semantic minimalism.},

en un contexto estrecho expresan proposiciones mínimas sin tener en cuenta las intenciones y lo defienden resolviendo

proposicionalismo no sirven para evitar otras objeciones genuinas que dependen de la sensibilidad contextual
composicional. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar que hay expresiones complejas que demandan composicionalmente
de modo obligatorio efectos pragmáticos cuya recuperación depende de las intenciones y, por ello, proporcionan
evidencia contra el tipo de proposicionalismo que fundamenta la defensa del minimismo semántico.},
