  • 80 580: Seminar on the Philosophy of Language

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    Seminar on the Philosophy of Language: The Construction of Meaning. The prevailing standard model of linguistic interpretation traces back to the work of Paul Grice. On Grice's model, the interpretation of a linguistic utterance is a two stage process. First, an interpreter calculates the meaning of the sentence uttered on the basis of the conventional meanings of the words and syntactic constructions used. The output of this compositional process is assumed to be a proposition. Then, the interpreter proceeds to make inferences, based on this proposition and other contextual information, as to what the speaker meant. Crucially, this process (a) treats the truth conditional content of sentences as compositionally determinable on the basis of purely linguistic information and (b) clearly separates the contribution of semantic processes and pragmatic (inferential) ones. This standard picture has been critiqued from a variety of perspectives, and there is an ongoing debate surrounding the theory of the construction of meaning. Some philosophers and linguists have argued that inferential processes indeed do contribute to the determination of truth conditional content, or ?what is said.? Others defend some version of the standard view, and have provided a variety of responses to critiques. Both kinds of view come in different degrees, ranging from extreme contextualists to those who deny that naive intuitions about utterance interpretation provide insight into the acutal meanings of sentences. In this seminar, we will read the literature in which this debate has been and is being carried out. Readings will primarily be drawn from the philosophical and linguistic literature, with some forays into psycholinguistics and computational linguistics.
