“In Chapter 8 I described fictional records as files of information structured around discourse referents. In Chapters 9 and 10 I showed how this gives us a way of understanding the development of fictional discourse during the telling of stories and the behavior of fictional names when used fictively. In this chapter and the next, I apply this view to nonfictive uses of fictional names, including factual, metafictional, interfictional, counterfictional, and theoretical uses. I begin this chapter by showing how our account deals with factual uses of fictional names.”
