Beskrivning

By creating certain marks on paper, or by making certain sounds-breathing past a moving tongue-or by articulation of hands and bodies, language users can give expression to their mental lives. With language we command, assert, query, emote, insult, and inspire. Language has meaning. This fact can be quite mystifying, yet a science of linguistic meaning-semantics-has emerged at the intersection of a variety of disciplines: philosophy, linguistics, computer science, and psychology.

Recensioner i media

Ball and Rabern have collected a set of prestigious chapters that well represent the current state of reflections on the nature, structure, and foundations of theories in mainstream FS. The volume will be of great interest to semanticists and contains a fair number of must-read essays (e.g., by Partee, Recanati, Yalcin) that could easily also be appreciated by linguists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers of language.
