Social externalism and linguistic communication
In María José Frápolli & Esther Romero, Meaning, Basic Self-Knowledge, and Mind: Essays on Tyler Burge. University of Chicago Press (2002)
Abstract
According to the expressive theory of communication, the primary function of language is to enable speakers to convey the content of their thoughts to hearers. According to Tyler Burge's social externalism, the content of a person's thought is relative to the way words are used in his or her surrounding linguistic community. This paper argues that Burge's social externalism refutes the expressive theory of communication.Author's Profile
