Two-Dimensional Semantics

by Manuel García-Carpintero, Josep Macià

Two-dimensional semantics is a framework that helps us better understand some of the most fundamental issues in those having to do with the relationship between the meaning of words, the way the world is, and our knowledge of the meaning of words. This selection of new essays by some of the world's leading authorities in this field sheds fresh light both on foundational issues regarding two-dimensional semantics and on its specific applications.
