Knowledge Of Meaning : An Introduction To Semantic Theory

	Knowledge Of Meaning : An Introduction To Semantic Theory by Larson & Segal
	Price : Rs 350.00
	Your Price : Rs 297.50

Current textbooks in formal semantics are all versions of or introductions to the same paradigm in semantic theory: Montague Grammar. Knowledge of Meaning is based on different assumptions and a different history. It provides the only introduction to truth-theoretic semantics for natural languages, fully integrating semantic theory into the modern Chomskyan program in linguistic theory and connecting linguistic semantics to research elsewhere in cognitive psychology and philosophy. As such, it better fits into a modern graduate or undergraduate program in linguistics, cognitive science, or philosophy. Furthermore, since the technical tools it employs are much simpler Knowledge of Meaning can be taught by someone who is not primarily a semanticist.ISBN 9788120313576
