In particular, Lycan elaborates the version of Davidson's thesis that a semantics for a particular natural language should take the form of a Tarskistyle truth definition for that language which satisfies certain formal and empirical constraints. In pursuing the anatomy of linguistic meaning and showing how its elements fit together, Lycan explores the interface between "languages" considered as formal systems and the linguistic activities of human beings in speech situations; and he defends the autonomy of linguistic semantics as a branch of psychology.
William G. Lycan is Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A Bradford Book.
