{"product_id":"semantics-metasemantics-aboutness","title":"Semantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness","description":"\u003cp\u003eSemantics aims to describe the significance (or meaning) of linguistic expressions in a systematic way. Metasemantics, or foundational semantics, asks how expressions gain their significance in the first place - what makes it the case that expressions mean what they do. Metasemantics has recently been discussed extensively by philosophers of language, philosophers of mind, and philosophically minded linguists and psychologists. A large concern is semantic indeterminacy, the worry that there is no fact of the matter as to the semantic significance of our words. Ori Simchen offers a distinctly metasemantic strategy to counter this threat. Semantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness is the first book-length treatment of metasemantics and its relation to the thriving research program of truth-conditional semantics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ori Simchen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573297184829,"sku":"9780198792147","price":157.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780198792147.jpg?v=1788520861","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/semantics-metasemantics-aboutness","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
