Simple Sentences, Substitution, and Intuitions Zusammenfassung

Simple Sentences, Substitution, and Intuitions Jennifer M. Saul (University of Sheffield)

The phenomenon of substitution failure is a longstanding focus of discussion for philosophers of language. Substitution failure occurs when a change from one co-referential name to another (e.g. from 'Superman' to 'Clark Kent') affects the truth-value of a sentence. Jennifer Saul has shown that this can occur even in the simplest of sentences. She presents the first full-length treatment of this puzzling feature of language, and explores its implications for the theory of reference and names, and for the methodology of semantics.

Simple Sentences, Substitution, and Intuitions Bewertungen

A sharp and skillful study... Saul's book constitutes a fresh and incisive contribution to the philosophy of language. It is certainly a msut read for anyone interested in the classic substitution puzzles and also anyone interested in questions about the methodology of semantics and philosophy of language. * N. Angel Pinillos Mind 119 *
