DONALO DAVIDSON GILBERT HARMAN EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most part quite independ ently, many philosophers and logicians have reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training, method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact, philosophers and linguists are converging, it seerns, on a common set of interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working on the same, or very similar, probiems, it would obviously be instructive to compare notes." --

Book Synopsis The Senses of the Text by : William C. Dowling
Download or read book The Senses of the Text written by William C. Dowling and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the notion of determinate meaning?the idea that a word or a line in a literary text means one thing rather than another thing, X rather than Y?has been widely rejected in the name of Derrida and diffärance, reader-response criticism, and "ideological" approaches proclaiming meaning to be no more than a site of political contestation. ø Yet determinate meaning, says William C. Dowling, cannot be rejected in this way. Like the ratio named by p or the primeness of prime numbers in mathematics, it has been there all along, waiting for our theories to catch up. The proof that this is so, he argues, is today most compellingly available in the New Intensionalism of Jerrold J. Katz, which provides a powerful demonstration that the method of "close reading" developed by New Criticism remains the only valid basis for higher-order interpretation. For readers with no technical background in linguistics or logic, The Senses of the Text provides a clear and easily-understood introduction to the "Chomskyan revolution" in linguistic theory and to major issues in the philosophy of language, including the work of Frege, Wittgenstein, Quine, Carnap, Kripke, and Davidson.
Book Synopsis Literary Semantics by : Trevor Eaton
Download or read book Literary Semantics written by Trevor Eaton and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates how an original, simple but philosophically potent idea is developed into a theory for the human sciences -- covering philosophy, logic, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, morality, religion, neurology, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, and education. A structured Glossary provides a roadmap to navigate these complexities. This revolutionary idea -- a trichotomy of knowledge, a three-fold division which includes everything that could ever be considered knowledge in the context of how the brain treats knowledge -- leads to theories of truth/affidence, value, the semantics of literature, modality, style and fictionality. Literary studies are divided into semantics of literature -- historical research which includes experimental inquiry into the act of poetic creation; and semics -- the study of reading acts: these components are further sub-divided within a modal theory, and arguments presented that venture beyond literature in exploring some of the cognitive problems which literary semantics raises. In the chapter Practical Semics, the author -- as The Chaucer Man, a professional performer in Middle English of Chaucer's works develops frame theory to analyse a passage from The Miller's Tale, arguing that received modal-verb categories cannot cope with the layers of fictionality in The Canterbury Tales. Trevor Eaton's theory led to the founding of Journal of Literary Semantics, now in its 37th volume. The Fifth Conference of the International Association of Literary Semantics is to take place at the University of Genoa in 2010. This volume demonstrates conclusively how literary semantics can throw light on and organize the theory of literature. A final chapter presents a formal document for discussion offered to readers of the Journal (founded by Eaton in 1972, and published by Mouton de Gruyter). The author then responds to two critiques of the document, made by distinguished linguists.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal aim of the study is to comment on institutional literary interpretation against the current background of various reformist tendencies in literary studies. Descriptive and analytic techniques derived from semiotics are used in an attempt both to illuminate the function of interpretation within systems of literary education and to examine critically the theoretical assumptions which underlie many contemporary approaches to the subject.

Book Synopsis Metaphors of Confinement by : Monika Fludernik
Download or read book Metaphors of Confinement written by Monika Fludernik and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphors of Confinement: The Prison in Fact, Fiction, and Fantasy offers a historical survey of imaginings of the prison as expressed in carceral metaphors in a range of texts about imprisonment from Antiquity to the present as well as non-penal situations described as confining or restrictive. These imaginings coalesce into a 'carceral imaginary' that determines the way we think about prisons, just as social debates about punishment and criminals feed into the way carceral imaginary develops over time. Examining not only English-language prose fiction but also poetry and drama from the Middle Ages to postcolonial, particularly African, literature, the book juxtaposes literary and non-literary contexts and contrasts fictional and nonfictional representations of (im)prison(ment) and discussions about the prison as institution and experiential reality. It comments on present-day trends of punitivity and foregrounds the ethical dimensions of penal punishment. The main argument concerns the continuity of carceral metaphors through the centuries despite historical developments that included major shifts in policy (such as the invention of the penitentiary). The study looks at selected carceral metaphors, often from two complementary perspectives, such as the home as prison or the prison as home, or the factory as prison and the prison as factory. The case studies present particularly relevant genres and texts that employ these metaphors, often from a historical perspective that analyses development through different periods.

Book Synopsis Semantics, Stylistics & Pedagogics by : V. Prakasam
Download or read book Semantics, Stylistics & Pedagogics written by V. Prakasam and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaning, being the core of the existential reality of language, need to be comprehended and analyzed, properly grasped and talked about. The first part of this book, Semantics, Stylistics and Pedagogics, is planned to strengthen our comprehension of the ‘meaning’ facet of language at ‘isolable’ level (lexical) and also at ‘combinatorial’ level (discoursal). The way ‘meaning’ is viewed and analyzed at different times and in different intellecting traditions is presented in the first three chapters which constitute the part called Semantics. The fourth chapter constitutes the second part of the book—Stylistics—dealing with the way ‘meaning’ is juiced out from a text. One can even say that we actually juice out meaning for a text because the meaning is actually a response from the aesthetic and cognitive capabilities of a reader. So the ‘grasping’ of meaning of a text is again a dynamic process comprising denotative, connotative and suggestive responses. The third part of the book is ‘Pedagogics’ which subsumes ‘androgogics’ too. Here we see how the language teacher who has comprehended and grasped ‘meaning’ conveys it to the student in the classroom. This conveying is actually facilitating comprehension and grasping in the minds of the students.
