Description

Integrated Action LanCog, Univ. Lisbon & Logos, Univ. of Barcelona

The project seeks to join efforts in the two groups with the goal of providing a finer classification and evaluation of anti-realist options in different areas of contemporary debate (particularly discourse apparently about abstract objects, and moral and aesthetic evaluative or prescriptive discourse). The general objectives include:

I. To establish a typology of the forms of an anti-realist strategy, on the basis of a detailed study of various classes of expressions and phenomena;

II. To discuss the value and legitimacy of semantic relativism as a general theory of meaning;

III. To determine how the articulation of the different strategies affects the traditional division between semantics and pragmatics.
