Some fictional stories are conveyed with both words and pictures. This paper proposes an account of how this is possible. It does so by (i) viewing stories as propositions and (ii) indicating a way in which a propositional content can be attributed to a picture. The account avoids a commitment to a domain of fictional characters or Meinongian objects by a recourse to denoting concepts. However this aspect of the proposal could be easily modified, if desired.

Abstract
Some fictional stories are conveyed with both words and pictures. This paper proposes an account of how this is possible. It does so by (i) viewing stories as propositions and (ii) indicating a way in which a propositional content can be attributed to a picture. The account avoids a commitment to a domain of fictional characters or Meinongian objects by a recourse to denoting concepts. However this aspect of the proposal could be easily modified, if desired.File in questo prodotto:
