Internalist Explorations Of Meaning
Ray Jackendoff (Tufts)
Conceptual Semantics
In this talk, delivered at Harvard University on November 13th 2007, Ray Jackendoff elaborates on his internalist approach to the study of meaning, called Conceptual Semantics. According to Jackendoff, it is necessary for semanticists to study not language in isolation, but conceptual structure ("thought"), the domain-general medium of mental representation.
The talk was part of the interdisciplinary reading group Internalist Explorations Of Meaning. For more information, visit the group's website.
