Game Theory and Linguistic Meaning By: Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen

Author: Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen

This work includes international contributions from known leaders in the field. It is part of the Current Research in Semantics/Pragmatics Interface series. This is the first book to collect research on game-theoretic tools in the analysis of language with particular reference to semantics and pragmatics. In three parts, it provides a historical overview of how game theory came to be used in the analysis of linguistic meaning, its application to pragmatics and finally its applications to semantics. The book is a balanced combination of philosophical, linguistic, logical and mathematical argumentation. The book also has a self-contained introductory tutorial, written by the editor, to give a gentle introduction to the complex topics covered later in the book. This is especially important given its multidisciplinary market.
