The Cambridge Handbook of the Philosophy of Language, Paperback / softback Book

The Cambridge Handbook of the Philosophy of Language Paperback / softback

Edited by Piotr Stalmaszczyk

Part of the Cambridge Handbooks in Language and Linguistics series

Paperback / softback

Description

The philosophy of language is central to the concerns of those working across semantics, pragmatics and cognition, as well as the philosophy of mind and ideas.

Bringing together an international team of leading scholars, this handbook provides a comprehensive guide to contemporary investigations into the relationship between language, philosophy, and linguistics.

Chapters are grouped into thematic areas and cover a wide range of topics, from key philosophical notions, such as meaning, truth, reference, names and propositions, to characteristics of the most recent research in the field, including logicality of language, vagueness in natural language, value judgments, slurs, deception, proximization in discourse, argumentation theory and linguistic relativity.

It also includes chapters that explore selected linguistic theories and their philosophical implications, providing a much-needed interdisciplinary perspective.

Showcasing the cutting-edge in research in the field, this book is essential reading for philosophers interested in language and linguistics, and linguists interested in philosophical analyses.
