| Summary |
With language we command, assert, query, emote, insult, and inspire. Language has meaning, and semantics is the science of linguistic meaning. But what exactly is <"meaning>"? What is the exact target of semantic theory? This volume explores these questions, in the light of the current state of the art in natural language semantics |
