Robert J. Stainton & Christopher Viger 
Compositionality, Context and Semantic Values 
Essays in Honour of Ernie Lepore

Ondersteuning

Are natural languages genuinely compositional? What roles does context play in linguistic communication, and by what means? In particular, does context interfere with the compositional determination of truth conditions? What meanings should theorists assign to sentences if compositionality is to be retained? These are the central questions of this important volume of new philosophical essays in honour of Ernie Lepore.
