“Intuitions and Competence in Formal Semantics” (“形式语义学中的直觉与能力”)

报告和讨论地点:

报告内容摘要:
An intuitions-based methodology has been a defining characteristic of formal semantics throughout its inception up to its development into a separate discipline. And although other methodologies are increasingly being used today, it is still an important way in which formal semanticists practice their trade. In this talk we take a critical look at the core assumptions underlying the intuitions-based methodology, tracing among other things its connections with the role of the concept of competence as developed in the generative tradition. We argue that within the framework of its own assumptions an intuitions-based methodology is internally incoherent, and that therefore either one or more of these assumptions, or the reliance on intuitions, or perhaps both have to be given up. Finally we will explore the consequences of such a move for the conception of semantics as such.
