Abstract:

In pragmatics, it is widely accepted that the overall meaning of an utterance
performed as part of a verbal interchange is basically underdetermined by the
meaning of the sentence uttered. What counts as having been said for most
contemporary authors goes far beyond sentence meaning. Rather, it has to be
considered as a complex utterance level combining semantic knowledge and
context-driven, pragmatic information as an integrated whole.

The focus of the present book lies on central questions about the nature, the
function and the acquisition of pragmatic inferencing strategies. The question
of the relation between the explicit and the implicit side of verbal
communication and its mutual delimitation is addressed. What is the character
of pragmatic inferences, wherever they may be situated in a descriptive model?
Are they nonce inferences arising anew in each act of communication, or do we
have to conceive of them as based on regularities and conventions? What is an
adequate model of the acquisition of the skills which are relevant for
mastering the inferential processes leading to an adequate interpretation of
utterances? And what is the relation between a theory of pragmatic enrichment
and optimality theory with an OT pragmatics as a possible result?
