Some Limitations to the Psychological Orientation in Semantic Theory
Journal of Philosophical Logic 40 (1):1 - 14 (2011)
Abstract
The psychological orientation treats semantics as a matter of idealized computation over symbolic structures, and semantic relations like denotation as relations between linguistic expressions and these structures. I argue that results similar to Gödel's incompleteness theorems and Tarski's theorem on truth create foundational difficulties for this view of semanticsAuthor's Profile
