Additional information

I have greatly benefitted from discussion on these issues with Janet Levin, Brian Loar, and Stephen Schiffer. The latter two especially, by their relentless criticism of the way I expressed my ideas in conversation, have forced me to write a very much better paper than I would otherwise have written. I am also grateful to Ned Block, Tyler Burge, Michael Devitt, Keith Donellan and David Hills for helpful comments on an ealier version.
