Since John Perry presented the distinction between narrow and wide context, indexi-
cality and context dependence have been treated as separate phenomena. The difficul-
ties faced by the attempts of extending the indexical approach to other context depen-
dent expressions that are not overtly indexical brought to extreme forms of contextu-
alism, where lexical meaning disappears in favour of radical forms of context depen-
dence (grab bag theory is but one of the many developments of this kind). The work-
shop addresses the challenge of radical contextualism and aims at exploring which
notions of context are better suited to account for the underdetermination of meaning.
