Convention (an excerpt on coordination and higher-order expectations)

David Lewis

pp. 741-757

Abstract

Use of language belongs to a class of situations with a conspicuous common character: situations I shall call coordination problems. I postpone a definition until we have seen a few examples. We begin with situations that might arise between two people-call them "you" and "I."
