Subjective adjectives as a cooperation problem

I discuss the pragmatics of subjectivity, showing that the subjectivity of multdimensional predicates maps to how well (how poorly) speakers can communicate the component dimensions — evidence for the predicate's truth — to one another. The communicability of evidence for the truth of the predicate is what separates subjective predicates from objective predicates, and allows for the fluidity of the divide in certain contexts. This also connects the subfield of PPT research to the subfield of evidentiality, as the two seemingly disparate areas are both concerned with the interface between semantics and pragmatics, establishing the relationship between content, context, communication and truth.
