Maps and Meaning
Journal of Philosophical Research 35:123-128 (2010)
| Abstract | It's possible to understand an infinite number of novel maps. I argue that Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi's compositional semantics of maps cannot explain this possibility, because it requires an infinite number of semantic primitives. So the semantics of maps is puzzlingly different from the semantics of language. | |||||||||
