Metasemantics, or foundational semantics, asks how expressions gain their significance in the first place - what makes it the case that expressions mean what they do. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMetasemantics has recently been discussed extensively by philosophers of language, philosophers of mind, and philosophically minded linguists and psychologists. A large concern is semantic indeterminacy, the worry that there is no fact of the matter as to the semantic significance of our words. Ori Simchen offers a distinctly metasemantic strategy to counter this threat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSemantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book-length treatment of metasemantics and its relation to the thriving research program of truth-conditional semantics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOri Simchen, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of British Columbia\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOri Simchen is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia.
