Abstract:

This contribution to Palgrave's "Advances" series addresses a wide range of 
issues that have arisen in post-Gricean pragmatic theory and presents a 
range of theoretical positions and approaches. Distinguished authors whose 
work is well known as lying at the interface of language, logic, linguistics, 
psychology and cognitive science contribute to the current lively debate 
within the field, with consideration of relevance theory, neo-Gricean 
pragmatics, optimality -theoretic pragmatics and experimental work. Among 
the specific topics covered are scalar implicature, lexical semantics and 
pragmatics, concepts and concept-adjustment, indexicality, speech acts, 
procedural meaning and the notion of 'constraint', the explicature-implicature 
distinction, numerical expressions, the semantics and pragmatics of 
negation and negative polarity items, and whether successful 
communication involves 'shared content'.
