Human language is not arbitrary. But how is its use constrained?
Are there rules or general human dispositions that govern it?
"Rules and Dispositions in Language Use" explains how correct
language use is indeed governed by both rules and general human
dispositions. It does so by bringing together themes from Ludwig
Wittgenstein and Noam Chomsky, which for many years have been
thought to be incompatible.
Opening with a fresh discussion of Saul Kripke's work on
rule-following and meaning, the question of what objectively
correct language use could amount to is raised and answered. In its
conclusion, the importance of human biological endowment for
language use is discussed and compared with Wittgensteinian views
on how rules govern language use.
