Like the propositional attitudes, these objects  present a variety of hard problems for semantic and philosophical  analysis. \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSemantics of Media\u003c\/em\u003e is an organized  exploration of fundamental questions in the semantics of media. \u003cbr\u003e  The first three chapters set out a straightforward model within the  possible-worlds framework, and consider how it might account for a  range of notions applying to media generally: implicit vs. explicit  content, propositional vs. individual content, causal vs. intentional  content and the idea of a single World of the Medium. \u003cbr\u003e  The final three chapters examine ways of elaborating the model to  cover a range of phenomena keyed to the functionality of particular  forms of media. Chapter Four is a discussion of fiction and our  apparent reference to fictional characters. Chapter Five deals with  the phenomenon of viewpoint in pictorial media. Chapter Six is a study  of interactions between users and characters of media centering on the  puzzling case of \u003cem\u003eseeing in films\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eThe Semantics of Media\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to specialists in the  fields of linguistics, philosophy and communications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792343899\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5650-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 141\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658325680268,"sku":"9780792343899","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792343899.jpg?v=1771509694","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792343899","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
