This book analyzes the role of language in scientific research and
develops the semantics of science from different angles. The
philosophical investigation of the volume is divided into four
parts, which covers both basic science and applied science: I) The
Problem of Reference and Potentialities of the Language in Science;
II) Language and Change in Scientific Research: Evolution and
Historicity; III) Scientific Language in the Context of Truth and
Fiction; and IV) Language in Mathematics and in Empirical Sciences.
Language plays a key role in science: our access to the
theoretical, practical or evaluative dimensions of scientific
activity begins with the mastery of language, continues with a
deepening in the use of language and reaches the level of
contribution when it creates new terms or changes them in sense and
reference. This reveals the compatibility between objectivity in
semantic contents and historicity in the progress of science. This
volume is a valuable enrichment to students, academics and other
professionals interested in science in all its forms, who seek to
deepen the role that language plays in its structure and dynamics.
