Abstract:

This book is concerned with semantics and, particularly, non-truth-conditional
meaning. It covers a range of topics in this area and discusses previous
approaches to the study of non-truth-conditional meaning, such as Speech Act
theory and Gricean conventional implicatures.

The study shows that previous approaches to non-truth-conditional meaning fall
short of providing an explanatory account of this type of meaning, as they
fail to offer a comprehensive and unified theory of linguistic semantics.
Moreover, they are shown to be insufficient, and often not even necessary, in
explaining linguistic semantics in general and non-truth-conditional meaning
in particular.

The book explores an alternative approach by integrating new advances in the
discipline. It develops a unified and explanatory account of linguistic
semantics by considering two key distinctions: one between conceptual and
procedural meaning, and the other between explicit and implicit communication.
These distinctions interact with different levels of representation available
in linguistic communication to enable us to account for the variety of
linguistic meaning and forms.

The discussion covers a range of linguistic forms, including sentence
adverbials and parentheticals, discourse and pragmatic connectives, discourse
particles and interjections, and mood indicators (both imperative and
interrogative).
