| Research Abstract |
Based on the insight of the late period of Wittgenstein (Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1889-1951) about meaning of language, I have proposed an original theory of meaning, which I called 'deflationary theory of meaning (DMLW).' First, from an exegetical point of view, I have examined consistency of DMLW with the late period of Wittgenstein's argument about meaning. Second, from a theoretical viewpoint independent from exegetical one, I have investigated validity of DMLW as a semantic theory. Third, through those studies I have elucidated what relations DMLW has with a good many and various kinds of semantic theories that have been advocated so far to provide it with ground for the theoretical efficacy and originality.
