This book offers an introduction to the analysis of meaning Our outstanding ability to communicate is a distinguishing feature of our species To communicate is to convey meaning but what is meaning? How do words combine to give us the meanings of sentences? & what makes a statement ambiguous or nonsensical? These questions & many others are addressed in Paul Elbourne's fascinating guide He opens by asking what kinds of things the meanings of words & sentences could be are they for example abstract objects or psychological entities? He then looks at how we understand a sequence of words we have never heard before; he considers to what extent the meaning of a sentence can be derived from the words it contains & how to account for the meanings that can't be; & he examines the roles played by time place & the shared & unshared assumptions of speakers & hearers He looks at how language interacts with thought & the intriguing question of whether what language we speak affects the way we see the world Meaning as might be expected is far from simple Paul Elbourne explores its complex issues in crystal clear language He draws on approaches developed in linguistics philosophy & psychology
- assuming a knowledge of none of them -in a manner that will appeal to everyone interested in this essential element of human psychology & culture
