Varieties of Tone - Frege, Dummett and the Shades of Meaning (Hardcover, New)

Today's leading theories of meaning, chiefly those of Michael
Dummett and Donald Davidson, depend crucially upon Gottlob Frege's
distinctions between sense and reference, sense and
utterance-force, and sense and tone. But while the notions of
reference, sense, and force have dominated the discussion, the
subtle workings of tone have received scant attention. Long
overdue, this is the first comprehensive study of tone. Careful
analysis of the more than two dozen varieties identified by Frege
and Dummett reveals serious weaknesses in their explanatory
framework. The author sketches a broader conception in terms of
speakers correctly making things out to be a certain way, a
formulation that avoids the demonstrated shortcomings of Fregean
truth-conditional accounts while capturing the representational
character of meaning as this applies right across the language-not
only to words and sentences, but to discreet linguistic components
such as word-order, mood of the verb, and patterns of intonation
and stress.
