Saul A. Kripke on de dicto - Dictionary of Arguments
II 209 KripkeVsDonnellan: Donnellan's theory is correct, but does not refute Russell’s (better, because more consistent) theory. The distinction referential/attributive has nothing to do with distinction de re/de dicto (Donnellan ditto). >referential/attributive/Kripke, >Donnellan. II 216 Donnellan/Kripke: de dicto: can be neither attributive nor referential: the quote is not about an object (this is already found in Frege). Referential: cannot be de re, e.g. "The number of planets is odd": is attributive, i.e. not about this exact subject "whatever". "Necessarily odd": is just as attributive, e.g. "The murderer, no matter who, has committed the murder": is just as attributive, but de re. Indirect speech: is neither referential nor attributive. >Indirect speech, >de re, >Planets example._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
