Högre seminariet i filosofi bjuder in till seminarium med Ethan Nowak, Umeå universitet. Seminariet har den engelska titeln "Speech acts and sociolinguistic variation".
Abstract (på engelska): In this paper, I develop and defend a speech act theoretic account of a class of intuitively significant properties of expressions associated with what sociolinguists call ‘social meanings’, and I show how my account puts pressure on the widespread idea that the foremost thing we do with words is exchange information.
Observera att seminariet ges på engelska. Alla intresserade är välkomna att delta!
