But it became clear with Stalnaker (1998) that he did not intend in those early papers that every sub-part of an utterance should force the sort of fine-grained contextual updates found in Heim's work and in later dynamic semantic models, such as those of Veltman (1996) and Groenendijk and Stokhof (1991).
Alas, though, Sir Ian is still not minded to offer any sort of utterance on the shambles, while Locog insists his salary is the most private of matters.
It is generally and correctly supposed that the United States apparel industry, which generates $200 billion in sales annually, has become so bland and corporatized that the number of charmingly loopy individuals of the sort given to utterances like, "Now that's a sleeve!" has been reduced to a few tottering die-hards.
