Capturing Sense in Intensional Contexts

An account is ooered of the sense of referring expressions in in-tensional contexts. Unlike Russell's classic account in terms of the de re/de dicto distinction, this doesn't rely on a quantiier scope ambiguity in the logical form. Instead, diierent senses of a referring expression are captured by the diierent discourse models which emerge in diier-ent contexts of use. This approach has two advantages over Russell's. It is more general, extending to contexts which aren't explicitly inten-sional. Furthermore, it doesn't rely on proposing a spurious ambiguity in the logical form.
