Synonymie und Ersetzbarkeit: Von Einstellungszuschreibungen zu den Paradoxien der Analyse
Book information
Description
This book promulgates the thesis that – apart from some easily explained exceptions – the substitution of synonyms in a sentence does not affect its truth or falsehood. Maik Sühr carefully defends this assertion against apparent counter-examples and applies it to the so-called paradox of analysis. Sühr develops a number of new arguments on basic issues in the philosophy of language as well as an original model of conceptual analysis.
