As a general account, it is intended toa pply equally well to both non-human and human interactions which are prima facie communicative in character. however, so far, Scott-Phillips has provided little detail regarding how his account is supposed to apply to the latter set of cases. After presenting what I take to be the most plausible way of filling in those details, I argue that his account would appear to be too narrow: it (minimally) fails to capture a range of human interactions which strike us as instances of communication.application/pdfen-AU© Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2017CommunicationFunctionInformationCoercionCueOstensive communicationPartial communication201710.1007/s10441-017-9313-82020-11-23
