Fictionalism for Fictional Discourse

Abstract: I present the main traits of a Radical Fictionalist approach to fictional discourse, with particular attention to fictional names and fictional particularity. Starting from these semantic premises, I proceed to a Radical Fictionalist study of the role of fictional narrators, comparing homodiegetic and heterodiegetic narratives and briefly touching on related topics in narratology. I conclude with some Radical Fictionalist proposals pertaining to discourse about fiction.
