Many linguists and philosophers of language explain linguistic
meaning in terms of truth conditions. This book focuses on the
meanings of expressions that escape such truth-conditional
treatment, in particular the concessives: "but," "even if," and
"although." Corinne Iten proposes semantic analyses of these
expressions based on the cognitive framework of relevance theory. A
thoroughly cognitive approach to linguistic meaning is presented in
which linguistic forms are seen as mapping onto mental entities,
rather than individuals and properties in the real world.
Researchers and advanced students in pragmatics will find this
account lucid, clear and accessible.
