He argues that equilibrium, or balance among multiple interacting forces, is a key attribute of language and meaning and shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modeling it as a system of interdependent games.His account results in a novel view of semantics and pragmatics and describes how both may be integrated with syntax. It considers many aspects of meaning-including literal meaning and implicature-and advances a detailed theory of definite descriptions as an application of the framework.Language and Equilibrium is intended for a wide readership in the cognitive sciences, including philosophers, linguists, and artificial intelligence researchers as well as neuroscientists, psychologists, and economists interested in language and communication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880686911776,"sku":"NEW0262013452","price":31.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61g8fGx1VhL.jpg?v=1781811592","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/language-and-equilibrium-0262013452","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
