Conceptual thought & Linguistic communication
Two of the most basic capacities of the human mind are its capacity for conceptual thinking and the capacity for linguistic communication. This workshop brings together an international group of philosophers discussing how these two capacities are related to each other. The workshop aims at answering key questions such as: Is linguistic meaning a function of speakers’ intentions? Do intentions determine the interpretation of context-sensitive expressions? Does conceptual thinking determine linguistic meaning? The workshop aims to address these issues, and others, in order to throw new light on the relation between our thought and talk.
