Theories of Reference and Experimental Semantics
Every Monday – 11:00 am / 1:00pm – DAFIST – Philosophical Section – PhD Room – Via Bensa 2 – Genoa (Italy).
In the ordinary use of language speakers use proper names and descriptions to refer to objects and individuals. What are the cognitive processes involved in the identification of the reference of an expression? How is it possible that sometimes speakers correctly understand inaccurate, incorrect or ambiguous descriptions? Is the ability of referring to objects and individuals a basic linguistic competence or is it something that speakers acquire and develop with the linguistic practice?
The seminar, addressed particularly to PhD students and graduate students of psychology and philosophy, aims at facing the problem of reference assignment, a traditional topic of the debate in cognitive psychology and in philosophy of language.
The seminar will be divided in two parts: the first section will be devoted at presenting the main theoretical approaches to the topic under discussion, while in the second part results from the most recent psycholinguistic experimental works will be discussed.
