Abstract:
Currently, there is a great number of approaches to the semantics-pragmatics
distinction on the market. This book is unique in that it offers a
comprehensive overview, comparison and critical evaluation of these
approaches. Taking as a starting point the notorious difficulty of
differentiating so-called literal from non-literal (or figurative) meaning, it
covers a wide range of the key current topics in semantics and pragmatics,
e.g., the saying/meaning distinction, minimalism vs. contextualism,
unarticulated constituents, indexicalism, (generalised) conversational
implicatures, speech acts, levels of meaning in interpretation, the role of
context in interpretation, the nature of lexical meaning. Notably, rather than
taking a solely theoretical perspective, the book integrates psycho- and
neurolinguistic perspectives, considering experimental results concerning the
(differences in) processing of the various types of meaning covered. In terms
of topics covered and perspectives taken, it is equally well suited for
undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of linguistics and/or
philosophy of language.
