Abstract:

This volume addresses foundational issues of context-dependence and
indexicality, which are at the center of the current debate within the
philosophy of language. Topics include the scope of context-dependency, the
nature of content and the character of input data of cognitive processes
relevant for the interpretation of utterances. There's also coverage of the
role of beliefs and intentions as contextual factors, as well as the validity
of arguments in context-sensitive languages.

The contributions consider foundational issues regarding context-sensitivity
from three different, yet related, perspectives on the phenomenon of
context-dependence: representational, structural, and functional. The
contributors not only address the representational, structural and/or
functional problems separately but also study their mutual connections, thus
furthering the debate and bringing competing approaches closer to unification
and consensus. This text appeals to students and researchers within the field.
