Book Description:

Category mistakes are sentences such as "Green ideas sleep furiously" or "Saturday is in bed." They strike us as highly infelicitous but it is hard to explain precisely why this is so. Ofra Magidor explores four approaches to category mistakes in philosophy of language and linguistics, and develops and defends an original, presuppositional account.
