This volume provides insight into linguistic pragmatics from the
perspective of linguists who have been influenced by philosophy.
Theory of Mind and perspectives on point of view are presented
along with other topics including: semantics vs. semiotics,
clinical pragmatics, explicatures, cancellability of explicatures,
interactive language use, reference, common ground, presupposition,
definiteness, logophoricity and point of view in connection with
pragmatic inference, pragmemes and language games, pragmatics and
artificial languages, the mechanism of the form/content correlation
from a pragmatic point of view, amongst other issues relating to
language use. Relevance Theory is introduced as an important
framework, allowing readers to familiarize themselves with
technical details and linguistic terminology. This book follows on
from the first volume: both contain the work of world renowned
experts who discuss theories relevant to pragmatics. Here, the
relationship between semantics and pragmatics is explored:
conversational explicatures are a way to bridge the gap in
semantics between underdetermined logical forms and full
propositional content. These volumes are written in an accessible
way and work well both as a stimulus to further research and as a
guide to less experienced researchers and students who would like
to know more about this vast, complex, and difficult field of
inquiry.
