Recenzje

'A splendid collection, shining a light on some of the most pressing issues in contemporary semantic theory. Taken as a whole, these studies make a compelling case for the importance of interaction between linguists and philosophers to the historical development of semantics as a field - and for why we should keep talking to each other in the future.' Hazel Pearson, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics
