Doing Worlds with Words throws light on the problem of meaning as
the meeting point of linguistics, logic and philosophy, and
critically assesses the possibilities and limitations of
elucidating the nature of meaning by means of formal logic, model
theory and model-theoretical semantics. The main thrust of the book
is to show that it is misguided to understand model theory
metaphysically and so to try to base formal semantics on something
like formal metaphysics; rather, the book states that model theory
and similar tools of the analysis of language should be understood
as capturing the semantically relevant, especially inferential,
structure of language. From this vantage point, the reader gains a
new light on many of the traditional concepts and problems of logic
and philosophy of language, such as meaning, reference, truth and
the nature of formal logic.
