Language Meaning and the Normative

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

What is meaning? This seemingly simple question has perplexed philosophers, linguists, and other scholars for centuries. In this thought-provoking book, Pasquale De Marco takes a comprehensive look at the nature of meaning and its importance in human life.

Drawing on a wide range of sources, from philosophy and linguistics to psychology and anthropology, Pasquale De Marco explores the different ways that scholars have thought about meaning. He also considers the relationship between meaning and other important concepts, such as truth, value, and action.

One of the most important things to understand about meaning is that it is not static. It is constantly evolving and changing, both within individuals and across cultures. This is because meaning is closely tied to our experiences and our understanding of the world. As we learn and grow, our understanding of meaning changes.

Another important thing to understand about meaning is that it is not always easy to communicate. This is because meaning is often implicit, rather than explicit. We often rely on shared assumptions and experiences to understand each other. When these assumptions and experiences are different, communication can break down.

Despite the challenges, communication about meaning is essential for human beings. It is through communication that we share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It is also through communication that we learn and grow.

In this book, Pasquale De Marco offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the nature of meaning. He argues that meaning is not something that exists independently of human beings. Rather, it is something that we create and negotiate through our interactions with others.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of language, the nature of reality, or the human condition. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills or their understanding of other cultures.

Italian Made Easy - Lower...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Italian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series. This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Italian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Italian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Italian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Italian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Italian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Italian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
