{"product_id":"9781138696990","title":"Descriptions in Context (Routledge Library Editions: Semantics and Semiology)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1997, this book focuses on the semantics of definite and indefinite descriptions — taking the presuppositional theory of definiteness and indefiniteness proposed by Heim as a starting point. It seeks to show that there exists a special type of indefinites that have an interpretation commonly associated with definites. It further argues that the felicity conditions associated with indefinite NP's can vary and develops a more fine-grained theory of novelty within the framework of File Change Semantics. More generally, this work can be seen as providing an empirical argument in favour of a dynamic theory of meaning and against the more traditional truth-conditional theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49139086688491,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":330.07,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138696990-1.jpg?v=1785769041","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781138696990","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
