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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMetasemantics 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSemantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book-length treatment of metasemantics and its relation to the thriving research program of truth-conditional semantics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ori Simchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198792147","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254387454089,"sku":"9780198792147","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9712b708-9df0-4aef-a4d6-393205e8c39d.jpg?v=1788300806","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/semantics-metasemantics-aboutness-9780198792147","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
