Editing Philosophy Of Language (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Creating</span> ==
Engaging with philosophy of language in contemporary contexts:
# '''LLM semantics''': do large language models have genuine semantic competence or only syntactic pattern-matching? This is the Chinese Room debate applied to language models.
# '''Meaning change''': how do word meanings evolve historically, and what norms govern correct usage?
# '''Performative language''': speech acts in legal, political, and social contexts (declarations, promises, verdicts) that constitute rather than describe reality.
# '''Slurs and harmful speech''': how does the offensive content of slurs work semantically? Descriptive? Expressive? Conventionalized?
# '''Metaphor''': Lakoff & Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory — how does thinking in one domain structure understanding of another?
