Context and Communication offers an introduction to a central theme
in the study of language: the various ways in which what we say (or
ask, or think) depends on the context of speech and thought. The
period since 1970 has produced a vast literature on this topic,
both by philosophers and by linguists. It is one of the areas of
philosophy (and linguistics) where most progress has been made over
the last few decades. This book explores some of the central data,
questions, concepts, and theories of context sensitivity. It is
written to be accessible to someone with no prior knowledge of the
material or, indeed, any prior knowledge of philosophy, and is
ideal for use as part of a philosophy of language course by
students of philosophy or linguistics. Context and Communication is
the first in the series Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy of
Language. Each book in the series provides an introduction to an
important topic in philosophy of language. Three more volumes are
in preparation, on reference, the metaphysics of meaning, and
conceptual analysis and philosophical methodology. These textbooks
can be used as a module in a philosophy of language course, for
either undergraduate or graduate students.
