The more or less currently accepted views of semantic compositionality, Gricean effects and indexicality are necessary, but not sufficient, to bridge the gap between the conventional significations of linguistic objects and the interpretations that sentences receive in contexts. Kay's radical contribution is his claim that the kind of theory of 'indexicality' required by the facts must be able to avail itself of the recursive (in Chomsky's sense 'creative') aspect of language.

Paul Kay is emeritus professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the University in 1966 as a member of the Department of Anthropology, transferred to the Department of Linguistics in 1982, and then became a Senior Researcher in artificial intelligence at the International Computer Science Institute. He is best known for his work with Brent Berlin on color, first published in Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution.
In this collection, Paul Kay relates two usually separate traditions of semantic research: the meanings of words and the contextual determination of interpretation. Kay argues that the currently accepted views of semantic compositionality, Gricean effects, and indexicality are necessary, but not sufficient, to bridge the gap between the conventional significations of linguistic objects and the interpretations that sentences receive in contexts. Although not alone in this view, Kay's radical contribution to this general line of thought is his claim that the kind of theory of 'indexicality' required by the facts must be able to avail itself of the recursive (in Chomsky's sense 'creative') aspect of language. Expressions which have context-indexing force cannot be listed; they can be freely generated. Ultimately, Kay is interested in language as a medium of communication: attempting to understand the role of grammar in the activities of both speakers and interlocutors.
