Davidson observed that quotations must somehow get interpreted in a general way that exploits the salient pre-referential relation between a quotation and the expression between its quotes. On Herman Cappelen’s and Ernie Lepore’s “minimal theory” of quotation, the Davidsonian observation requires quotations to be semantically structured. In this communication I argue briefly that the Davidsonian arguments of Cappelen & Lepore have no implication that quotations must be semantically structured.
