Nissim Francez's abstract indicated that "If time suffices, the talk will also present proof-theoretic meanings also for sub-sentential phrases, all the way down to words, making use of Frege's context principle."

I'm wondering if he had time to comment on these matters? And of course if he did, would be very interested to hear the basic gist of his comments (or anything you can recollect).
