By creating certain marks on paper, or by making certain
sounds-breathing past a moving tongue-or by articulation of hands
and bodies, language users can give expression to their mental
lives. With language we command, assert, query, emote, insult, and
inspire. Language has meaning. This fact can be quite mystifying,
yet a science of linguistic meaning-semantics-has emerged at the
intersection of a variety of disciplines: philosophy, linguistics,
computer science, and psychology. Semantics is the study of
meaning. But what exactly is "meaning"? What is the exact target of
semantic theory? Much of the early work in natural language
semantics was accompanied by extensive reflection on the aims of
semantic theory, and the form a theory must take to meet those
aims. But this meta-theoretical reflection has not kept pace with
recent theoretical innovations. This volume re-addresses these
questions concerning the foundations of natural language semantics
in light of the current state-of-the-art in semantic theorising.
