  • Word Usage
    "[Roderick Chisholm, Boundaries as Dependent Particulars (1984: 88)] “The reason why it's vague where the outback begins is not that there's this thing, the outback, with imprecise borders; rather there are many things, with different borders, and nobody has been fool enough to try to enforce a choice of one of them as the official referent of the word ˜outback™.”"
