{"product_id":"situations-and-attitudes-jon-barwise-9781575861937","title":"Situations and Attitudes","description":"In this provocative book, Barwise and Perry tackle the slippery subject of 'meaning', a subject that has long vexed linguists, language philosophers, and logicians. Meaning does not exist solely within words and sentences but resides largely in the situation and the attitudes brought to it by those involved. The authors present an unusually lucid treatment of important innovations in the field of natural semantics, contending that the standard view of logic (as derived from Frege, Russell, and work in mathematics and logic) is inappropriate for many of the uses to which it has been put by scholars. In Situations and Attitudes Barwise and Perry provide the basics of a realistic model-theoretic semantics of natural language, explain the main ideas of the theory, and contrast them with those of competing theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Barwise,John Perry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1575861933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781575861937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Center for the Study of Language and Informat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.06w x 0.93d","brand":"Jon Barwise","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088582357247,"sku":"9781575861937","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0c124ca-57dd-4df7-8644-dbfbb1c81816.jpg?v=1769105571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/situations-and-attitudes-jon-barwise-9781575861937","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
