    There are also topics that fall on the borderline between philosophy of language and philosophy of linguistics: of "linguistic relativity" (see the supplement on the linguistic relativity hypothesis in the Summer 2015 archived version of the entry on relativism), language vs. idiolect, speech acts (including the distinction between ...

    • Computational Linguistics

      "Human knowledge is expressed in language. So computational linguistics is very important." -Mark Steedman, ACL Presidential Address (2007) Computational linguistics is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with understanding written and spoken language from a computational perspective, and building artifacts that usefully process and produce language, either in bulk or in ...

    • Brentano's Theory of Judgement

      1. An Outline of Brentano's Theory. In this section, we start with an overview of Brentano's theory of judgement, as far as it is contained in the first edition of the Psychology.

    • Whorfianism

      Whorfianism. Emergentists tend to follow Edward Sapir in taking an interest in interlinguistic and intralinguistic variation. Linguistic anthropologists have explicitly taken up the task of defending a famous claim associated with Sapir that connects linguistic variation to differences in thinking and cognition more generally.

    • Language of Thought Hypothesis

      The language of thought hypothesis (LOTH) proposes that thinking occurs in a mental language. Often called Mentalese, the mental language resembles spoken language in several key respects: it contains words that can combine into sentences; the words and sentences are meaningful; and each sentence's meaning depends in a systematic way upon the meanings of its component words and the way those ...

    • Empiricism: Logical

      Carnap explicitly takes up the "self-undercutting" charge against verifiability in Philosophy and Logical Syntax (1935), and he is not interested in introducing a new technical term, 'meaning', or in denying this new technical property to unverifiable sentences. Carnap is careful to distinguish the language for which the verifiability ...

    Third, we are open to the Ockhamist doctrine (which is now more commonly associated with Fodor) that the occurrence of a thought is somehow underwritten by the tokening of a sentence of mental language. 6 On this hypothesis the ur-content of the thought is arguably explained by the semantic profile of the mental language sentence token, and the latter rather than the former is the truly ...
  4. In the first part of the paper I analyze the ways "narrow content" is understood in the literature. I show two important distinctions which have to be applied to the term in order to avoid confusion - the difference between context and functional theories of narrow content, and the difference between mental and linguistic narrow content ...

    Some issues in the Philosophy of Language overlap with logical questions and ones studied within linguistics, while some interact with the Philosophies of Mind and Psychology; and others relate to, say, the ways in which uses of language can reflect political commitments and affect social realities.

    The notion of narrow content arises from Hilary Putnam's well‐known article 'The Meaning of "Meaning" ' . Putnam raised the question of whether the meaning of a word in a given subject's mouth is fixed by the subject's psychological states in (what he termed) 'the narrow sense'.

    Of the various disciplines which investigate different aspects of human language, this Handbook concentrates predominantly on philosophy of language (with some additional discussion of linguistic philosophy and philosophy of linguistics) and, to some necessary degree, also on linguistics.
