The first four chapters develop the idea that language is a system that allows us to exchange information with each other, and the second four chapters the idea that language is a tool we can use to perform actions, like promising, insulting, and socially positioning ourselves. The first part of the book traces an arc connecting questions like: What is linguistic meaning? Where does meaning come from? How do we use meanings to send messages to each other? The second part of the book takes up questions like: Does pornography silence women? What is offensive about slurs? What do we lose when languages go extinct? With a glossary of key terms, questions for reflection, and suggestions for further reading, Philosophy of Language: The Basics is the place to start for anyone who is or knows someone who is curious about how high the seas of language rise"--cProvided by publisher.  aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 0aLanguage and languagesxPhilosophy.973516 7aPHILOSOPHY / General2bisacsh992396403Taylor & Francisuhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003250753423OCLC metadata license agreementuhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf  cE-Books  c67472d67472
