This is the third of three sessions, on inferentialist semantics. Greg will be in Taiwan delivering the 2025 Wendy Huang Lectures<\/em>, and these three sessions in the M&L seminar are his opportunity to give the lectures a preliminary outing.<\/p>\n

I have three aims for this set of lectures. Two are central, and the third is incidental:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To give an account of what is so distinctive about logic<\/em>, insofar as logical notions have a grip on whatever can be said<\/em> or thought<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. To clarify the connections between logic and semantics<\/em>, the theory of meaning.<\/li>\n
  3. The product of these two aims is that I get to provide a philosophical prolegomena and a non-technical introduction to the more technical work I have done in my forthcoming manuscript Proof, Rules and Meaning.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today, I aim to show how we might relate inferentialist semantics to truth-conditional accounts of meaning for natural languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
