Descriere

Semantics aims to describe the significance of linguistic expressions in a systematic way. Metasemantics, or foundational semantics, asks how expressions gain their significance in the first place. Ori Simchen presents the first book-length treatment of metasemantics and its relation to the thriving research program of truth-conditional semantics.
