The main thrust of the book is to show  that it is misguided to understand model theory metaphysically and so  to try to base formal semantics on something like formal metaphysics;  rather, the book states that model theory and similar tools of the  analysis of language should be understood as capturing the  semantically relevant, especially inferential, structure of language.  From this vantage point, the reader gains a new light on many of the  traditional concepts and problems of logic and philosophy of language,  such as meaning, reference, truth and the nature of formal logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995-10-31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780792337423\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416680587404,"sku":"9780792337423","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792337423_a1c20e7d-5ac0-40c3-a355-8b8ddad24c48.jpg?v=1768917708","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792337423","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
