Related issues of essentialism and  linguistic reference are explored. \u003cbr\u003e  Part II takes up the question of lexical meaning in the context of  possible-world semantics. There are skeptical analyses of analyticity  and the notion of a logical constant; and an `infinite polysemy'  thesis is defended. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of particular interest to metaphysicians,  possible-world semanticists, philosophers of language, and linguists  concerned with lexical semantics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792330066\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0936-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 338\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658307035276,"sku":"9780792330066","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792330066.jpg?v=1771509690","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792330066","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
