This collection takes the classical truth-conditional view of formal semantics one step further and closer to a realistic semantic theory that covers speaker’s intentions, the knowledge of discourse participants, and the meaning of vague or paradoxical utterances.

Composition, Values, and Interpretation

Approaches to Meaning

Janneke van Wijnbergen-Huitink

A dish may be delicious, a painting beautiful, a piece of information justified. Whether the attributed properties "really" hold, seems to depend on somebody like a speaker or a group of people that share standards and background. Relativists and contextualists differ in where they locate the dependency theoretically. This book collects papers that corroborate the contextualist view that the dependency is part of the language.
