How do hearers manage to understand speakers? And how do speakers
manage to shape hearers' understanding? Lepore and Stone show that
standard views about the workings of semantics and pragmatics are
unsatisfactory. They offer a new account of language as a
specifically social competence for making our ideas public. They
argue that this approach is a good way to target the distinctive
mechanisms and problems at play in explaining the human faculty of
language. At the same time, this view embraces the diverse
dimensions of meaning that linguists have discovered. This is the
right way to delimit semantics.
