Semantic Perception

How the Illusion of a Common Language Arises and Persists

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Humans involuntarily experience physical items as having meaning-properties. Semantic Perception explores this experience--the phenomenology of the understanding of language--in depth. Jody Azzouni shows the many ways that we experience the meaning-properties of language artifacts as independent of the intentions of their makers.
