About the Book

By creating certain marks on paper, or by making certain sounds-breathing past a moving tongue-or by articulation of hands and bodies, language users can give expression to their mental lives. With language we command, assert, query, emote, insult, and inspire. Language has meaning. This fact can be quite mystifying, yet a science of linguistic meaning-semantics-has emerged at the intersection of a variety of disciplines: philosophy, linguistics, computer science, and psychology.

Table of Contents:
0: Derek Ball and Brian Rabern: Introduction to the science of meaning 1: Pauline Jacobson: What is - or, for that matter, isn't - 'experimental' semantics? 2: Wesley H. Holliday and Thomas F. Icard, III: Axiomatization in the meaning sciences 3: Robert Stalnaker: David Lewis on context 4: François Recanati: From meaning to content 5: Bryan Pickel, Brian Rabern, and Josh Dever: Reviving the parameter revolution in semantics 6: Barbara Partee: Changing notions of linguistic competence in the history of formal semantics 7: Michael Glanzberg: Lexical meaning, concepts, and the metasemantics of predicates 8: Kathrin Glüer: Interpretation and the interpreter 9: Inés Crespo, Hadil Karawani, and Frank Veltman: Expressing expectations 10: Thomas Ede Zimmermann: Fregean compositionality 11: Paul Pietroski: Semantic typology and composition 12: Seth Yalcin: Semantics as model-based science 13: Wolfgang Schwarz: Semantic possibility 14: Derek Ball: Semantics as measurement

About the Author :
Derek Ball is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of St Andrews. His professional interests include the philosophy of language and philosophy of mind. Brian Rabern is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His main research interests centre around philosophy of language, logic, and formal semantics.

Review :
Ball and Rabern have collected a set of prestigious chapters that well represent the current state of reflections on the nature, structure, and foundations of theories in mainstream FS. The volume will be of great interest to semanticists and contains a fair number of must-read essays (e.g., by Partee, Recanati, Yalcin) that could easily also be appreciated by linguists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers of language.
