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.
