Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-theoretic Semantics

Peter Lasersohn (2017) Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-theoretic Semantics. Oxford University Press.

This work explores linguistic and philosophical issues presented by sentences expressing personal taste, such as Roller coasters are fun, and examines how truth-theoretic semantics can account for expressions of this type. It provides a detailed and explicit formal grammar paired with semantic analysis and pragmatic theory.
