Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

Logical Form in Natural Language clearly explains and defends the truth-theoretic method in semantics first developed by Donald Davidson to analyze logical forms of sentences of natural language. Lycan examines the history, motivation, and content of the Davidsonian program, offering plausible, even novel, solutions to the well-known technical problems that have plagued it.

In particular, Lycan elaborates the version of Davidson's thesis that a semantics for a particular natural language should take the form of a Tarskistyle truth definition for that language which satisfies certain formal and empirical constraints. In pursuing the anatomy of linguistic meaning and showing how its elements fit together, Lycan explores the interface between "languages" considered as formal systems and the linguistic activities of human beings in speech situations; and he defends the autonomy of linguistic semantics as a branch of psychology.

William G. Lycan is Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A Bradford Book.

Descrizione libreria

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
