Abstract:

This volume explores how the effectiveness of communication is shaped by 
aspects of semantics and pragmatics such as compositionality, the role of 
the speaker and hearer, and the acquisition of meaning. Optimal 
Communication surveys recent research in the fields of syntax, semantics, 
and pragmatics, and draws from optimality theory to argue that optimal 
meanings result from a compromise between competing constraints. Optimal 
Communication will be an invaluable resource for students in cognitive 
science, linguistics, and natural language semantics.
