We first correct some errors in Lepore and Stone’s discussion of speaker meaning and its relation to linguistic meaning. With a proper understanding of those notions and their relation, we may then motivate a liberalization of speaker meaning that includes overtly showing one’s psychological state. I then distinguish this notion from that of expression, which, although communicative, is less cognitively demanding than speaker meaning since it need not be overt. This perspective in turn enables us to address Lepore and Stone’s broadly Davidsonian view of figurative language, which rightly emphasizes the role of imagination and perspective-taking associated with such language, but mistakenly suggests it is sui generis relative to other types of pragmatic process, and beyond the realm of communication. Figurative utterances may influence conversational common ground, and may be assessed for their aptness; they also have a characteristically expressive role that a Davidsonian view lacks the resources to explain.

The importance of home visiting in the overall strategy for promoting the health and development of children and families is still being debated. In a 1980 conference in which the role of home visiting in delivering preventive services to families with young children was explored, a number of rather heterogeneous programs were examined. There was little agreement concerning why one program appeared to be effective and another did not. Some of the variables thought to be related to positive outcomes were the timing of the intervention (prenatal vs postnatal); intensity (weekly or more vs monthly or less); duration (a year or more vs less than a year); how careful was the selection, training and supervision, and continuing education of the home visitors; content of the intervention (specific educational content and/or emotional support); the overall framework of the intervention (child centered, family centered, ecologic); and the research design and sample size.
