Matthew Mandelkern

Bounded Meaning (eBook, ePUB)

The Dynamics of Interpretation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Bounded Meaning develops a new theory of how and why semantic interpretation depends not just on global information, but also on local information. Mandelkern provides criticisms of the dominant theory, dynamic semantics, and proposes a new theory of bounds as limits on admissible interpretations of an expression.
