Which Terms are Subject to Division of Linguistic Labour
It is rather uncontroversial idea that there is a division of linguistic labour: laypeople rely on experts for the identification of meanings of some terms. But which terms are subject to this division? This paper demonstrates that the answers “natural kind terms” or “scientific terms” are too narrow and presents an alternative solution by appealing to inferentialist semantics. The main claim of this paper is that “specialist terms” are subject t…
Meaning, Communal Use and Deference to Experts
It is hardly controversial that laypeople have little-to-no knowledge concerning the actual meaning of such specialist terms as “boson” or “sarcoidosis” (at best, they can say that sarcoidosis is a disease and boson is some particle.) It has been convincingly shown (Burge, 1979, 1986, 1988, 1989, 2003; Putnam, 1973, 1975, 1978) that not the community as a whole, but rather relevant experts play an essential role in determining the meaning of such…
How can the inferentialist make room for the distinction between factual and linguistic correctness
Brandom (Citation1994) made inferentialism an intensely debated idea in the philosophy of language in the last three decades. Inferentialism is a view that associates the meaning of linguistic expression with the role said expression plays in inferences. It seems rather uncontroversial that the correct theory of meaning should distinguish between linguistic correctness and factual correctness. For instance, speaker S can be wrong in saying ‘I hav…
Rules, practices, and assessment of linguistic behaviour
In this paper, I focus on the idea that language is a rule‐constituted and rule‐governed practice. This notion has been criticised recently. It has been claimed that, even if linguistic meaning is determined by rules, these rules are not genuinely normative because they do not govern actions within the practice by themselves. It has been emphasised that one needs to consent (e.g., has relevant intention or desire) to be a part of that practice. F…
Inferentialism, Context-Shifting and Background Assumptions
In this paper I present how the normative inferentialist can make the distinction between sentence meaning and content of the utterance. The inferentialist can understand sentence meaning as a role conferred to that sentence by the rules governing inferential transitions and content of the utterance as just a part of sentence meaning. I attempt to show how such a framework can account for prominent scenarios presented by contextualists as a chall…
Meanings as Species
Metasemantics. New Essays on the Foundations of Meaning
It is a not so common situation when a book's ‘Introduction’ makes a significant contribution to the questions that it concerns. But this is the case with Metasemantics. New Essays on the Foundations of Meaning, edited by Alexis Burgess and Brett Sherman. The editors’ ‘Introduction’ brings important clarification on the subject matter of metasemantics. Traditionally, it was distinguished from semantics and named ‘foundational semantics’ or ‘metas…
