Peter F. Strawson on Everyday Language - Dictionary of Arguments

III 189ff
Everyday language/Strawson problem: the relations between action ascribing sentences are not to be understood in the predicate calculus like the relations in which the sentences of Davidson's scheme are.
>Actions/Davidson
.
III 194
Solution/Strawson: adverbial access: direct - we cannot understand everyday language sentences (SS) in one respect, without recognizing them as equivalent to Davidson's (DS).
>Adverbial analysis.
III 196
Only difference: in the Davidson's scheme, the constellations are only clearer, but they are also present in the everyday language sentences - so that we can then introduce a control system for the everyday language - (without having to require control).
III 197
Quotation marks show that everyday language sentences have a different but equivalent structure - solution: theory of naming with attached predication shows how the structures intersect.
>Predication.
III 198
Actions and events generally suffer the identity dependency of substances.
>Substance, >Action, >Event.
