Description
What is it for marks or sounds to have meaning, and what is it for someone to mean something in producing them? The author tries to answer these and other related questions in this seminal work on the foundations of meaning. The book contains chapters on communication, speech acts, convention, and the meaning of linguistic items. There is an introduction by the author in which he takes account of recent developments and places his theory in a broader perspective. This work may be of particular interest to philosophers of language or mind, linguists and cognitive psychologists.
