Felicitous Underspecification

Discover the intriguing insights of "Felicitous Underspecification" by Jeffrey C. King, published by Oxford University Press in 2021. This thought-provoking book, spanning 176 pages, delves into the complexities of contextually sensitive expressions and their unique semantic values. King presents a compelling argument that these expressions can have felicitous uses, even when they lack distinct meanings in specific contexts. Moreover, the book formulates a groundbreaking rule for updating the Stalnakerian common ground, particularly when an accepted sentence features an expression without a unique semantic value. Ideal for readers interested in philosophy, linguistics, and semantics, this hardback edition is a must-have for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of language and context. Enhance your collection with this essential work from one of the leading voices in the field.
