Signaling Without Saying - The Semantics And Pragmatics Of Dogwhistles

de Elin Mccready e Robert Henderson

~~83,91€~~ 75,52€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Signaling without Saying develops game-theoretic approaches to social meaning to model the phenomenon of dogwhistles, perhaps best known from political speech. These constructions involve language that sends one message to an out-group while at the same time sending a second-often taboo, controversial, or inflammatory-message to an in-group. Robert Henderson and Elin McCready show that dogwhistles should not be modeled in the same way as related language, like slurs, and nor should they be treated via standard Gricean implicatures computed over truth-conditional meaning; instead, they should be treated as primarily bearing social meaning, as understood by modern variationist sociolinguistic theories. The book identifies and models two different kinds of dogwhistle meaning, while also exploring a variety of related phenomena. The authors show how novel implicatures in the social meaning domain can arise when a listener detects a dogwhistle, and connect them to implicatures familiar in the truth-conditional domain. Social meaning, they argue, can be added to theories of trust in testimonial evidence, and dogwhistles can help to establish trust with an audience, even when expressing false propositions. The final chapter of the book looks at connections between dogwhistles and other issues important in epistemology and philosophy of language which might involve social meaning, such as standpoint theory.

 This book explores the phenomenon of dogwhistles, whereby language is used to send one message to an out-group while at the same time sending a second-often taboo, controversial, or inflammatory-message to an in-group. The authors use a game-theoretical approach to social meaning to identify and model two kinds of dogwhistle meaning.

Actuality Inferences - Causality, Aspect, And Modality

de Prerna Nadathur

94,06€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book investigates the phenomenon of actuality inferences, in which claims of ability are interpreted as descriptions of actual events, instead of as descriptions of potentiality or possibility. The findings contribute to a growing body of research in which computational models serve as an analytic tool for lexical and compositional semantics.

From Perception To Communication - A Theory Of Types For Action And Meaning

de Robin Cooper

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book characterizes a notion of type that covers both linguistic and non-linguistic action, and lays the foundations for a theory of action based on a Theory of Types with Records (TTR). The theory of language based on action developed in the book allows the adoption of a perspective on linguistic content centred on interaction in dialogue.

Parenthetical Meaning

de Todor Koev

84,79€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Todor Koev investigates the semantics and pragmatics of a representative sample of parenthetical constructions from three theoretical viewpoints. He argues that these constructions fall into two major classes, pure and impure, and explains parenthetical meaning through a formally precise and predictive dynamic model.

Meaning Of More

de Alexis Wellwood

38,41€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the semantics of comparative constructions using words such as more, as, too, and so on, and proposes a new account that rejects a fundamental assumption of the degree semantics framework. The findings have implications not only for semantics but also for language acquisition and cognitive science more broadly.
