EXPRESSION AND MEANING
Ouvrage 9780521313933 : EXPRESSION AND MEANING
John Searle's Speech Acts made a highly original contribution to work in
the philosophy of language. Expression and Meaning is a direct
successor, concerned to develop and refine the account presented in
Searle's earlier work, and to extend its application to other modes of
discourse such as metaphor, fiction, reference, and indirect speech
arts. Searle also presents a rational taxonomy of types of speech acts
and explores the relation between the meanings of sentences and the
contexts of their utterance. The book points forward to a larger theme
implicit in these problems - the basis certain features of speech have
in the intentionality of mind, and even more generally, the relation of
the philosophy of language to the philosophy of mind.
