Professor Hintikka's sophisticated and ingenious paper consists of a statement of his game theoretic semantics as applied to a natural language, a claim about the quantifier 'any' that he calls the 'any-thesis\ and some more general conclusions about grammaticality. I find myself with some queries about what he says in each one of these areas, and I shall take them in turn before returning to consider briefly some more general motivations for game-theoretic semantics.
