Abstract | In this paper, I draw attention to comparative preference claims, i.e. sentences of the form ┌S prefers p to q┐. I show that preference claims exhibit interesting patterns, and try to develop a semantics that captures them. Then I use my account of preference to provide an analysis of desire. The resulting entry for desire ascriptions is independently motivated, and finds support from a wide range of phenomena. |
