Hansen, N. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5074-1075 (2015) Experimental philosophy of language. In: Oxford Handbooks Online. Oxford University Press. doi: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199935314.013.53

Abstract/Summary

Experimental philosophy of language uses experimental methods developed in the cognitive sciences to investigate topics of interest to philosophers of language. This article describes the methodological background for the development of experimental approaches to topics in philosophy of language, distinguishes negative and positive projects in experimental philosophy of language, and evaluates experimental work on the reference of proper names and natural kind terms. The reliability of expert judgments vs. the judgments of ordinary speakers, the role that ambiguity plays in influencing responses to experiments, and the reliability of meta-linguistic judgments are also assessed.
