Philosophical and Formal Approaches to Linguistic Analysis. Preface; Boghossian's Implicit Definition Template; The Two One Fallacy Theory Theory; Modal Games in Natural Language; A Problem with Structured Propositions; Does Intensional Semantics Account for 'Travis Cases'?; Chomsky's Methodological Naturalism and the Mereological Fallacy; Kripke and Mill on Natural Kind Terms; In Defence of Axiomatic Semantics; Identity of Linguistic Expressions and Lexical Synonymy in the Fields of Logical Semantics, Linguistic Semantics, and 'Pragmatic Semantics' Structured Propositions and Shared ContentIn Defence of Singular Propositions; Context and Compositionality: the Challenge of Conversational Dialogue; Deferred Reference and Descriptive Indexicals. Mixed Cases; Proper Names: Denying Semantic Uniformity; Taking (It) Seriously: Normativity of Meaning; Accommodating Abstracta in Naturalist Accounts of Meaning; Ambiguous Conditionals; Defining Linear Dynamic Syntax; Towards a Non-referential Semantics; Are Propositions Facts?; Judgement-Dependence, Tacit Knowledge and Linguistic Understanding Making Events Redundant: Adnominal Modification and PhasesA Philosophical Reflection on Language: Is Ontology Needed in Semantics?; In Defense of Implicit Knowledge in a Full-Blooded Theory of Meaning; On Pragmatic Regularities; A New Perspective for the Theory of Intentionality; A Conceptual Role Semantics for Attitude Reports; Index of Names; Index of Subjects
Articles gathered in the volume focus on traditional and contemporary debates within the philosophy of language, and on the interfaces between linguistics, philosophy, and logic. The topics of individual contributions cover such diverse issues as analytic accounts of the a priori and implicit definitions, medieval and contemporary theories of fallacy, game-theoretical semantics, modal games in natural language and literary semantics, possible-world theories and paradoxes involving structured propositions, extensions to Dynamic Syntax, semantics of proper names, judgement-dependence, tacit know.
