Abstract:
The contextual contributions to meaning are at the core of the debate about
the semantics/pragmatics distinction, one of the liveliest topics in
current philosophy of language and linguistics. The controversy between
semantic minimalists and contextualists regarding context and semantic
content is a conspicuous example of the debate's relevance. This collection
of essays, written by leading philosophers as well as talented young
researchers, offers new approaches to the ongoing discussion about the
status of lexical meaning and the role of context dependence in linguistic
theorizing. It covers a broad range of issues in semantics and pragmatics
such as presuppositions, reference, lexical meaning, discourse relations
and information structure, negation, and metaphors. The book is an
essential reading for philosophers, linguists, and graduate students of
philosophy of language and linguistics.
