Abstract:

Peter Ludlow shows how word meanings are much more dynamic than we might have
supposed, and explores how meanings are modulated (changed) even during the
course of our everyday conversations. When we engage with communicative
partners we build micro-languages on the fly--languages that may be fleeting,
but which serve our joint interests. Sometimes we sync up on word meanings
without reflection, but in many cases we debate the proper modulation of the
meanings of our words. Living Words explores the norms that govern the ways in
which we litigate word meanings. The resulting view is radical, and Ludlow
shows that it has far-reaching consequences for our political and legal
discourse and also for some of the deepest and most intractable puzzles that
have gripped English-language philosophy for the past 100 years--including
puzzles in the foundations of semantics, epistemology, and logic.
