I periodically get requests for copies of an unpublished paper called "A Unified Indexical Analysis of `Same' and `Different': A Response to Stump and Carlson", which was presented at the University of Texas Workshop on Syntax and Semantics, Austin Texas, March 22-24 1985.

I have available only a preliminary draft of that paper, though the main points points of the paper are all covered in it.

I no longer have a symbol font corresponding to the symbol encoding in the paper, so some logical symbols are represented by ASCII characters. These should be decoded as follows:

\ = lambda
| = universal quantifier
! = existential quantifier
|F = future tense operator
@ = alpha
^ (over a variable, e.g. x) equivalent to ^ followed by lambda followed by x (Actully an abbreviatory convention of Montague's, though one not used in Dowty/Wall/Peters.)

Warning about postscript file: the file is an early, somewhat crippled version of postscript: on my viewer at least, if you try to go back to an earlier page, the document is reported as "corrupted"; what you need to do is go back and re-load the file, then proceed forward-only from the beginning to the page you want.

Note: This web page formerly contained the erroneous statement that this draft was uncomplete, and a handout was linked which was alleged to have additional examples not discussed in the paper draft, from which additional parts of the paper could be reconstructed. This is false, the draft is complete, the handout merely includes some "expository" examples that are skipped in the draft. (For anybody who wants to confirm this, the handout is still given here.)
