Contexts: Meaning, Truth, and the Use of Language by Stefano Predelli
Book Description
Stefano Predelli comes to the defence of
the traditional 'formal' approach to natural-language semantics,
arguing that it has been misrepresented not only by its critics, but
also by its foremost defenders. In Contexts he offers a fundamental
reappraisal, with particular attention to the treatment of indexicality
and other forms of contextual dependence which have been the focus of
much recent controversy. Predelli shows how his metasemantic approach
deals with a variety of important semantic and philosophical puzzles.
He analyses the relationship between indexicality and logical validity,
discussing well-known problem cases, and demonstrating the limits of
token-reflexive systems. He investigates the relationships between
truth-conditions and assignments of truth-values at particular points
of evaluation, and shows that so-called contextualist worries do not
undermine the traditional semantic approach. Finally, he shows that
semantic befuddlement about the interpretation of attitude reports is
based on an inadequate understanding of the scope of natural language
semantics. Contexts will be of great interest to all philosophers of
language, and to many linguists. (Amazon.com)
The Grammar of Words
This is an introduction to the grammar of words. Geert Booij introduces
the basic methods of morphological analysis and shows how these can be
used to reveal how words are formed, compounded, and inflected in
different languages. He then describes the relationship of morphology
to syntax, phonology, and semantics, and shows how the main aspects of
grammar interact to make languages work. He ends by examining the
universal characteristics of morphology. He discusses the ways in
which
these reflect the organization of the mind's language faculty and
considers whether they throw light on the way languages change and are
learned.
