This is the 1st of 4 lectures Harris gave at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla, India in October 2002. I ILL’d myself a copy to see if I wanted to buy a copy. For $4.95 and about $15.50 shipping I have a copy of this print-on-demand book on order from India.

This week
Harris, Roy. 2005. The Semantics of Science. London: Continuum. [WorldCat]
This is the book Hjørland cites in Semantics and Knowledge Organization in the section on Semantics and the Philosophy of Science (en2, 373/396): “Harris (2005) provides an important critique of the semantic assumptions generally made in science” (396). Of course, that ought to read something more like “made under the supercategory science and also in individual sciences (or perhaps better still, scientific disciplines).”
