Book Synopsis Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-theoretic Semantics by : Peter Lasersohn
Book excerpt: This book explores linguistic and philosophical issues presented by sentences expressing personal taste, such as Roller coasters are fun, and examines how truth-theoretic semantics can account for expressions of this type. It provides a detailed and explicit formal grammar paired with semantic analysis and pragmatic theory.
