Abstract:

This book focuses on semantics and in particular non-truth-conditional meaning
in Galician. It covers a range of topics in this area and discusses previous
approaches to the study of non- truth-conditional meaning in the language,
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 in Galician,
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 in the language.

The study explores an alternative approach by integrating new advances in the
discipline applied to Galician. It develops a unified and explanatory account
of linguistic semantics by considering two key contrasts. One is the contrast
between conceptual and procedural meaning, and the other between explicit and
implicit communication. These contrasts interact with different levels of
representation available in linguistic communication to enable us to account
for the heterogeneous nature of linguistic meaning in the language.

The discussion encompasses a range of linguistic categories, including
sentence adverbials and parentheticals, discourse and pragmatic connectives,
discourse particles and interjections, and mood indicators (imperative and
interrogative) in Galician. The study argues that the analysis of these
categories provides evidence for the alternative account developed here based
on the interaction between different types of meaning and communication, which
in this study is applied to different areas of Galician language.
