Abstract:

Linguistics and philosophy, while being two closely-related fields, are often
approached with very different methodologies and frameworks. Bringing together
a team of interdisciplinary scholars, this pioneering book provides examples
of how conversations between the two disciplines can lead to exciting
developments in both fields, from both a historical and a current perspective.
It identifies a number of key phenomena at the cutting edge of research within
both fields, such as reporting and ascribing, describing and referring,
narrating and structuring, locating in time and space, typologizing and
ontologizing, determining and questioning, arguing and rejecting, and implying
and (pre-)supposing. Each chapter takes on a phenomena and explores it through
a set of questions which are posed and answered at the outset of each chapter.
An accessible and engaging resource, it is essential reading for researchers
and students in both disciplines, and will empower exciting and illuminating
conversations for years to come.
