Abstract:

The concept of meaning, since Frege initiated the linguistic turn in 1884, has
been the subject of numerous theories, hypotheses, methodologies and
distinctions. One distinction of considerable strategic value relates to the
location of meaning: some aspects of meaning can be found in language and are
modelled with semantic values of various kinds; some aspects of meaning can be
found in communicative processes and are modelled with pragmatic inferences of
one sort or another. One hypothesis of great heuristic utility concerns the
relationship that is assumed between the semantic and the pragmatic. This
collection of especially commissioned papers examines current thinking on the
plausible nature of the semantic, the possible character of the pragmatic and
the mechanics of their intersection.
