"Well-formedness is meaningfulness: Exploring an old idea"

Tue Trinh
Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), Berlin

Abstract: The example that started modern linguistics, "colorless
green ideas sleep furiously", was intended to show that
well-formedness cannot be identified with meaningfulness when it comes
to natural language. In this talk I explore the thesis that
well-formedness is meaningfulness when it comes to natural language.
Specifically, I address the question what linguists would have to say
about the syntax-semantics interface in order to defend that thesis. I
also consider the possible relevance of the view on language put
forward by Wittgenstein in the Tractatus to this whole discussion.
