Abstract:

A group of authors containing both leading authorities and young researchers
addresses a number of issues of contrastiveness, polarity items and
exhaustivity, quantificational expressions and the implicatures they generate,
and the interaction between semantic operators and speech acts. The 19
contributions provide insights on the interplay between semantics and
pragmatics. The volume’s reach is cross-linguistic and takes an unorthodox
multi-paradigm approach. Languages studied range from European languages
including Hungarian and Russian to East Asian languages such as Japanese and
Korean, with rich data on focus and discourse particles. This volume
contributes to a major area of research in linguistics of the last decade, and
provides novel, state-of-the-art views on some of the central topics in
linguistic research, and will appeal to an audience of graduate and advanced
undergraduate researchers in linguistics, philosophy of language and
computational linguistics.
