Metasemantics: New Essays on the Foundations of Meaning

Metasemantics: New Essays on the Foundations of Meaning by Alexis Burgess, Brett Sherman


2014 | ISBN: 0199669597 | English | 400 pages | EPUB | 0.8 MB

Metasemantics comprises new work on the philosophical foundations of linguistic semantics, by a diverse group of established and emerging experts in the philosophy of language, metaphysics, and the theory of content. The science of semantics aspires to systematically specify the meanings of linguistic expressions in context.




The paradigmatic metasemantic question is accordingly: what more basic or fundamental features of the world metaphysically determine these semantic facts? Efforts to answer this question inevitably raise others. Where are the boundaries of semantics? What is the essence of the meaning relation? Which framework should we use for semantic theorizing? What are the intrinsic natures of semantic values? Are the semantic facts metaphysically determinate? What is semantic competence?




Metasemantic inquiry has long been recognized as a central part of the philosophy of language, but recent developments in metaphysics and semantics itself now allow us to approach these classic questions with an unprecedented degree of precision. The essays collected here provide promising new perspectives on old problems, pose questions that suggest novel research projects, and taken together, greatly sharpen our understanding of linguistic representation.

Foundations of Mathematical Optimization

Foundations of Mathematical Optimization: Convex Analysis without Linearity (Mathematics and Its Applications) by Stefan Rolewicz


English | 28 Feb. 1997 | ISBN: 0792344243 | 596 Pages | PDF | 22 MB

Many books on optimization consider only finite dimensional spaces. This volume is unique in its emphasis: the first three chapters develop optimization in spaces without linear structure, and the analog of convex analysis is constructed for this case. Many new results have been proved specially for this publication.
