The substance of this paper was first presented at several meetings of the Semantics Seminar of the Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Texas at Austin in the spring of 1981, while I was on sabbatical leave from the University of New South Wales. I am grateful to both universities, to the Sloan Foundation, and to Stanley Peters for making this possible. I have benefitted greatly from discussion with the people at the Seminar, particularly Stanley Peters and Esa Saarinen. I have also been aided by regrettably brief conversations with Max Cresswell and Martin Davies.
