Semantics of Natural Language
Author: D. Davidson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401025576
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 781
Book Description
"The idea that prompted the conferenee for which many of these papers were written, and that inspired this book, is stated in the Editorial Introduction reprinted below from Volume 21 of Synthese. The present volume contains the artieles in Synthese 21, Numbers 3-4 and Synthese 22, Numbers 1-2. In addition, it ineludes new papers by Saul Kripke, James McCawley, John R. Ross, and Paul Ziff, and reprints 'Grammar and Philosophy' by P. F. Strawson. Strawson's artiele first appeared in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Volume 70, and is reprinted with the kind permission of the author and the Aristotelian Society. We also repeat our thanks to the Olivetti Companyand Edizione di Comunita of Milan for permission to inelude the paper by Dana Scott; it also appeared in Synthese 21. DONALO DAVIDSON GILBERT HARMAN EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most part quite independ ently, many philosophers and logicians have reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training, method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact, philosophers and linguists are converging, it seerns, on a common set of interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working on the same, or very similar, probiems, it would obviously be instructive to compare notes." --

Literary Semantics
Author: Trevor Eaton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781845193058
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book illustrates how an original, simple but philosophically potent idea is developed into a theory for the human sciences -- covering philosophy, logic, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, morality, religion, neurology, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, and education. A structured Glossary provides a roadmap to navigate these complexities. This revolutionary idea -- a trichotomy of knowledge, a three-fold division which includes everything that could ever be considered knowledge in the context of how the brain treats knowledge -- leads to theories of truth/affidence, value, the semantics of literature, modality, style and fictionality. Literary studies are divided into semantics of literature -- historical research which includes experimental inquiry into the act of poetic creation; and semics -- the study of reading acts: these components are further sub-divided within a modal theory, and arguments presented that venture beyond literature in exploring some of the cognitive problems which literary semantics raises. In the chapter Practical Semics, the author -- as The Chaucer Man, a professional performer in Middle English of Chaucer's works develops frame theory to analyse a passage from The Miller's Tale, arguing that received modal-verb categories cannot cope with the layers of fictionality in The Canterbury Tales. Trevor Eaton's theory led to the founding of Journal of Literary Semantics, now in its 37th volume. The Fifth Conference of the International Association of Literary Semantics is to take place at the University of Genoa in 2010. This volume demonstrates conclusively how literary semantics can throw light on and organize the theory of literature. A final chapter presents a formal document for discussion offered to readers of the Journal (founded by Eaton in 1972, and published by Mouton de Gruyter). The author then responds to two critiques of the document, made by distinguished linguists.

Pages : 272
Book Description
Introducing some of the foundational concepts, principles and techniques in the formal semantics of natural language, Elements of Formal Semantics outlines the mathematical principles that underlie linguistic meaning. Making use of a wide range of concrete English examples, the book presents the most useful tools and concepts of formal semantics in an accessible style and includes a variety of practical exercises so that readers can learn to utilise these tools effectively. For readers with an elementary background in set theory and linguistics or with an interest in mathematical modelling, this fascinating study is an ideal introduction to natural language semantics. Designed as a quick yet thorough introduction to one of the most vibrant areas of research in modern linguistics today this volume reveals the beauty and elegance of the mathematical study of meaning.
