Presumptive Meanings: The theory of generalized conversational implicature
Levinson's book presents a theory of generalized conversational implicature (GCI), and makes the central claim that this theory necessitates a "new view of the architecture of the theory of meaning" (p. 9). Levinson claims that to account for GCI (and other types of presumptive meanings, or preferred interpretations), it is necessary to distinguish a new level of utterance-type meaning from sen...
متن کاملJosef Stern , Metaphor in Context ( Cambridge , MA : MIT Press , 2000 )
Metaphor is a crucially context-dependent linguistic phenomenon. This fact was not clearly recognized until some time in the 1970’s.

متن کاملReview of: David Temperley, The Cognition of Basic Musical Structures Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2001, 404 pp. ISBN 0-262-20134-8.
In The Cognition of Basic Musical Structures, David Temperley presents a computational theory of music cognition that is deeply influenced by Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s (1983) A Generative Theory of Tonal Music (henceforth, GTTM).

Is it itself a bodily state, perhaps a state of his brain or nervous system? If not, does it nonetheless depend on such states? Or is his believing that water is cold independent of his bodily states? An...
