Now that I’ve predicted there’ll be a trend I have to report on everything that confirms my prediction. (There’s _some_ danger of selection bias here.) Anyway, today “Kai von Fintel”:http://semantics-online.org/blog/2004/07/lasersohn_on_personal_taste linked to Peter Laserhohn’s paper “Context Dependence, Disagreement, and Predicates of Personal Taste”:http://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/mNjMjlkZ/taste.pdf. Here’s the conclusion.

bq. I have argued that sentences containing predicates of personal taste are not completely objective; their truth values vary from person to person. However, this variation in truth value does not involve a variation in semantic content: If you say roller coasters are fun, and I say they are not, I am negating the very same sentence content which you assert, and directly contradicting you. Nonetheless, both our utterances can be true (relative to their separate contexts). I presented a semantics which gives this result by introducing an individual index, analogous to the world and time indices commonly used, and by treating the pragmatic context as supplying a particular value for this index. However, the context supplies this value in the derivation of truth values from content, not in the derivation of content from character. Predicates of personal taste therefore display a kind of contextual variation in interpretation which is unlike the familiar variation exhibited by pronouns and other indexicals.
