Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Meaning in Linguistic Interaction builds on the author's earlier work on
Default Semantics and adds new arguments in favour of radical contextualism as
well as novel applications, focusing on the role of salience, the flexibility
of word meaning, the literal/nonliteral distinction, and the dynamic nature of
a character, as well as offering an entirely new perspective on the
indexical/nonindexical distinction. It contains a state-of-the-art discussion
of the semantics/pragmatics boundary disputes, focusing on varieties of
semantic minimalism and contextualism and on the limitations of an
indexicalism. Jaszczolt's work is illustrated with examples from a variety of
languages and offers some formal representations of meaning in the
metalanguage of Default Semantics.
