In der Semantik, der Lehre von der Bedeutung unserer kommunikativen Zeichen, gibt es zwei Paradigmen. Dem realistischen Paradigma zufolge bestehen Bedeutungen von Zeichen in ihrer Zuordnung zu den Dingen, die sie bezeichnen, dem pragmatischen Paradigma zufolge dagegen in ihrem Gebrauch. Schon Wittgenstein hat darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass dieser bedeutungsrelevante "Gebrauch" zwei Bedeutungen, d.h. Gebrauchsweisen kennt: eine regelianistische, die der Frage entspricht, wie ein Zeichen (richtig) gebraucht wird, und eine instrumentalistische, die zunächst fragt, wozu - zu welchem Zweck - das betreffende Zeichen als Mittel verwendet wird. Das Buch verfolgt das Ideal einer großen Synthese in drei Schritten. (1) Es beginnt instrumentalistisch, indem es zunächst eine allgemeine Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns entwickelt. (2) Dann rekonstruiert es eine bestimmte Form des Regelianismus auf dieser instrumentalistischen Basis. (3) Schließlich zeigt es, wie sich für eine einfache logische Sprache sogar die realistische Semantik auf dieser handlungstheoretischen Basis rechtfertigen lässt. Das Buch liefert demnach erstmals den Rahmen für eine Theorie der Bedeutung im strengen Sinne einer Bedeutungs-Logik.

Wittgensteins 'Philosophische Untersuchungen' sind mit ihrem philosophiekritischen Feuer, ihrer aphoristischen Brillanz, ihren griffigen Bildern, ihrer argumentativen Verbissenheit zum mehrdeutig verwendbaren Kultbuch geworden, das unterschiedliche Bekenntnisse zu Aufgabe und rechtem Stil der Philosophie eint. Darüber wird leicht vergessen, dass die klare Sprache, die manifeste Ernsthaftigkeit und die gedankliche Strenge dem Leser die Aufgabe stellen, sich um ein begründetes Textverständnis zu bemühen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zeigen, wie sehr es sich lohnt, die großen sprachphilosophischen und anthropologischen Themen des Werkes methodisch diszipliniert zu erschließen.

Essentialism--roughly, the view that natural kinds have discrete essences, generating truths that are necessary but knowable only a posteriori--is an increasingly popular view in the metaphysics of science. At the same time, philosophers of language have been subjecting Kripke's views about the existence and scope of the necessary a posteriori to rigorous analysis and criticism. Essentialists typically appeal to Kripkean semantics to motivate their radical extension of the realm of the necessary a posteriori; but they rarely attempt to provide any semantic arguments for this extension, or engage with the critical work being done by philosophers of language. This collection brings authors on both sides together in one volume, thus helping the reader to see the connections between views in philosophy of language on the one hand and the metaphysics of science on the other. The result is a book that will have a significant impact on the debate about essentialism, encouraging essentialists to engage with debates about the semantic presuppositions that underpin their position, and, encouraging philosophers of language to engage with the metaphysical presuppositions enshrined in Kripkean semantics.

Linking - how semantic arguments map to the syntax - is one of the challenges for theories of the syntax-semantics interface. In this new approach, Janet Randall explores the hypothesis that the positions of syntactic arguments are strictly determined by lexical argument geometry. Yielding novel - if sometimes surprising - conclusions, her Isomorphic Linking Hypothesis establishes the linking patterns of a wide range of verbs and, with those results, shows how to reason "backwards" from how a given verb's arguments link to what its lexical representation must be. Along the way, the investigation takes on thorny lexical issues - reformulating the Theta Criterion, revisiting the multiple lexical-entry debate, eliminating "indirect" arguments and redefining unaccusativity. It offers new insights into how arguments are represented, assembles a host of argument/adjunct diagnostics, and re-examines the relation between arguments and predicates. The result of this incisive study is a simple and consistent account of linking, integrated with a radical rethinking of the nature of arguments and argument structure. From the reviews: "Janet Randall's Linking: The Geometry of Argument Structure, is an authoritative journey through a minefield of critical problems. Arguing a symmetry between conceptual structure and argument structure, it will richly reward those readers who do themselves the favor of taking the trip." (Samuel Jay Keyser, Professor Emeritus, MIT) "In this book, Janet Randall, building on much recent research, develops her own version of a geometrical theory of the lexicon and explores a restrictive hypothesis on how lexical entries project into syntactic structure, based on structure preservation. Even those who, like myself, are not so inclined to think of word meaning in geometric terms, will find in this book a striking series of puzzles, challenges, and insights." (Gennaro Chierchia, Haas Foundations Professor of Linguistics, Harvard University) "Janet Randall's book is a model of how to reason across the interface between conceptual structure and syntax. It is a goldmine of razor sharp observations about argument structure and morphology. Each theoretical step is supported by carefully developed empirical evidence. It will be a lasting accomplishment at both the theoretical and empirical level." (Tom Roeper, University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
