About This Book

Insensitive Semantics is an overview of and contribution to the debates about how to accommodate context sensitivity within a theory of human communication, investigating the effects of context on communicative interaction and, as a corollary, what a context of utterance is and what it is to be in one.

  • Provides detailed and wide-ranging overviews of the central positions and arguments surrounding contextualism
  • Addresses broad and varied aspects of the distinction between the semantic and non-semantic content of language
  • Defends a distinctive and explanatorily powerful combination of semantic minimalism and speech act pluralism
  • Confronts core problems which not only run to the heart of philosophy of language and linguistics, but which arise in epistemology, metaphysics, and moral philosophy as well
