商品描述

This book applies the formal discipline of logic to everyday discourse. It offers a new analysis of the notion of individual, suggesting that this notion is linguistic, not ontological, and that anything denoted by a proper name in a well-functioning language game is an individual. It further posits that everyday discourse is non-compositional, i.e., its complex expressions are not just the result of putting simpler ones together but react on the latter, modifying their meaning through feedback.

The book theorizes that in everyday discourse, there is no algebra of truth values, but the latter can be both input and output of something which has no truth value at all. It suggests that an elementary proposition of everyday discourse (defined as having exactly one predicate) can, in principle, be indefinitely expanded by adding new components, belonging neither to subject nor to predicate, but remain elementary. This book is of interest to logicians and philosophers of language.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書將邏輯的正式學科應用於日常對話。它提供了對「個體」概念的新分析，認為這一概念是語言性的，而非本體論的，並且在良好運作的語言遊戲中，由專有名詞所指稱的任何事物都是個體。它進一步假設，日常對話是非組合性的，即其複雜表達式不僅僅是將更簡單的表達式組合在一起的結果，而是對後者進行反應，通過反饋修改其意義。

這本書理論上認為，在日常對話中，並不存在真值的代數，但後者可以是某種完全沒有真值的事物的輸入和輸出。它建議，日常對話中的基本命題（定義為恰好有一個謂詞）原則上可以通過添加新的組件無限擴展，這些組件既不屬於主語也不屬於謂詞，但仍然保持基本性。這本書對邏輯學家和語言哲學家具有興趣。
