Abstract:

This handbook is the first to explore the growing field of experimental
semantics and pragmatics. In the past 20 years, experimental data has become a
major source of evidence for building theories of language meaning and use,
encompassing a wide range of topics and methods. Following an introduction
from the editors, the chapters in this volume offer an up-to-date account of
research in the field spanning 31 different topics, including scalar
implicatures, presuppositions, counterfactuals, quantification, metaphor,
prosody, and politeness, as well as exploring how and why a particular
experimental method is suitable for addressing a given theoretical debate. The
volume's forward-looking approach also seeks to actively identify questions
and methods that could be fruitfully combined in future experimental research.

Written in a clear and accessible style, this handbook will appeal to students
and scholars from advanced undergraduate level upwards in a range of fields,
including semantics and pragmatics, philosophy of language, psycholinguistics,
computational linguistics, cognitive science, and neuroscience.
