What does it take to refer? A reply to Bojadziev

Bojadziev has taken issue with my distinction between strong and weak self- reference, in saying that it is reference in general and not simply self-re ference that either is strong or weak. I agree completely. Here I clarify h ow I intend those notions and why I think that the strong case of self-refe rence is worthy of special attention. In short, I argue that all forms of r eferring involve a kind of self-referring.
