SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Jessica Keiser (Leeds)
DESCRIPTION:Linguistic Conventions and Language Change: \nI argue that data about language change casts doubt on the following two theses of the Lewisian metasemantic picture: that the essential function of language is communication\, and that people share a language in virtue of a common interest (namely\, to achieve that particular function). I propose a novel metasemantic account which draws on Lewis’ insights by taking language to be a solution to a repeated strategy problem\, while rejecting the idea that this strategy problem is always characterized by common interests. On this account\, communication is a privileged function of language\, but it is not unique; language also serves to establish and maintain social control and social identity.
