No words in English are shorter than 'I' and few, if any, play a more fundamental role in language and thought. José Luis Bermúdez develops a model of how language-users understand sentences involving the first person pronoun 'I'. This model illuminates the unique psychological role that self-conscious thoughts play in action and thought.
