Bemerkung:

Cleanly preserved and a good working copy. - Summary: This two-volume collection showcases a wide range of modern approaches to the philosophical study of language. Contributions illustrate how these strands of research are interconnected and show the importance of such a broad outlook. The aim is to throw light upon some of the key questions in language and communication and also to inspire, inform, and integrate a community of researchers in philosophical linguistics. Volume two presents analyses of several fundamental concepts and studies in which they are applied empirically. These include the linguistic topics of assertion, vagueness, and disagreement, and the philosophical themes of belief, normativity, and thought. These chapters provide unique insight into the role of philosophy in the contemporary study of communication. - Contents: Introduction (Piotr Stalmaszczyk and Martin Hinton) -- Propositional Contents: Historical and Methodological Considerations (Tadeusz Ciecierski) -- Assertion and Denial: Challenges from Subjective Disagreement (Natalia Karczewska) -- Vagueness and Subjectivity: An Overview of Approaches and Problems (Natalia Karczewska and Joanna Odrow??-Sypniewska) -- Disagreement is Said in Many Ways: An Experimental Philosophy of Language Study on Taste Discussions (David Bordonaba-Plou) -- Thought and Talk about Iterated Attitudes (Brian Ball) -- Communicating with Colourings (Lwenn Bussière-Caraes) -- An Expectation-Based View of Human Communication (José V.
