    Journal Article

    Kaplan (1990. "Words." Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 64: 93-119; 2011. "Words on Words." The Journal of Philosophy 108 (9): 504-529) argues that there are no unspoken words. Hawthorne and Lepore (2011. "On Words." The Journal of Philosophy 108 (9): 447-485) put forward examples that purport to show that there can be such words. Here, I argue that Kaplan is correct, if we grant him a minor variation. While Hawthorne and Lepore might be right that there can be unspoken words, I will argue that they fail to show that there can be uninstantiated words.
