For example, we have already introduced one unexpected variable,
hemisphere (as between southern and northern). There are plenty of others,
seemingly without limit. The truth of "It is 5:00 p.m." depends on time zone,
an entirely conventional construct. (As Wittgenstein once noted, time zones
are bound to our planet; "It is 5:00 p.m. on the sun" has no truth-value.)
And some locutions presuppose a kind of vantage point, often distinct from
the place of actual utterance, that can shift even within a single sentence

(2a) Zonker went to Uncle Duke's party.
(2b) Zonker came to Uncle Duke's party.
(2c) I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; . . .--You come too.
