Related: American philosophical quarterly, Vol. 42, Issue 3, p.185-197
Publisher: North American Philosophical Publications
Date: 2005
Author/Creator: Abell, Catharine
Description: The claim that depiction involves language-like conventions is examined, and distinguishes it from two other forms of depictive conventionalism. An argument that because conventionalism must be consistent with the distinguishing features of depiction, it must construe depictive conventions as conventions for the depiction of basic color, shape and textual properties is presented.
