Dear all,

during the yesterday’s lecture, I noticed a discussion in the chat about the interconnectedness of language, truth, and “real”-world reference. If you want to read a great novel about these issues (and more!), I really recommend China Miéville’s Embassytown (Locus Award, 2012).  This is of course not an academic publication, but Miéville’s done his homework and the book is generally worth your time…

Best wishes,

Martin
