There are basically two strands of established theories: use-based and truth-conditional, with the latter being the dominant variety. This dominance has been questioned recently by linguists who embrace a research paradigm that is known as construction grammar. As construction grammar is use-based, it seems natural to suppose that its success is indirect support for use-based semantics in philosophy. This is true. But there's still a lot to do. Although there are use-based theories that fit quite well with current research in linguistics, they are far from being perfect. In particular, the most popular theory in that area is still tied to some of the main motivations behind truth-conditional semantics. 'Constructions in Use' offers an alternative by proposing to let this legacy go. Instead, it argues that philosophical semantics is best off if it goes for an entirely use-based theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Auf Der Straße\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3957580331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783957580337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dusseldorf University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.76d","brand":"Alexander Auf Der Straße","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487090847999,"sku":"9783957580337","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34007baf-32e5-4aee-8864-7572dabcc057.jpg?v=1778058283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructions-in-use-alexander-auf-der-straze-9783957580337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
