Abstract:

Despite the fact that they are often crucial to our understanding, the vague,
ineffable elements of language use and communication have received much less
attention from linguists than the more concrete, effable ones. This has left a
range of important questions unanswered. How might we account for the
communication of non-propositional phenomena such as moods, emotions and
impressions? What type of cognitive response do these phenomena trigger, if
not conceptual or propositional? Do creative metaphors and unknown words in
second languages and other ‘pointers’ to ‘conceptual regions’ communicate
concepts learned from language alone? How might the descriptive ineffability
of interjections, free indirect speech etc. be accommodated within a theory of
communication? What of those working on the aesthetics of artworks, music and
literature? What can evolution tell us about ineffability? The papers in this
volume address these fascinating questions head-on. They represent a range of
different attempts to answer them and, in so doing, allow us to pose exciting
new questions. The aim, to bring the ineffable firmly within the grasp of
theoretical pragmatics.
