Global Expressivism: language agency without semantics, reality without metaphysics
Book
Barker, S. J. Global Expressivism: language agency without semantics, reality without metaphysics. (submitted to) Oxford University Press. Manuscript submitted for publication

There is a wide-spread belief amongst theorists of mind and language. This is that in order to understand the relation between language, thought, and reality we need a theory of meaning and content, that is, a normative, formal science of meaning, wh...
