Plastic Glasses and Church Fathers: Semantic Extension from the Ethnoscience Tradition by David B. Kronenfeld (Professor of Anthropology, Professor of Anthropology, University of California at Riverside)
Kronenfeld aims to present a comprehensive understanding of the process by which we use words in speech to refer to things in the world, and to develop a theory of the semantics of natural language which can account adequately for native speakers' intuitions regarding word meanings and their word usage.
