Critical Pragmatics develops three ideas: language is a way of
doing things with words; meanings of phrases and contents of
utterances derive ultimately from human intentions; and language
combines with other factors to allow humans to achieve
communicative goals. In this book, Kepa Korta and John Perry
explain why critical pragmatics provides a coherent picture of how
parts of language study fit together within the broader picture of
human thought and action. They focus on issues about singular
reference, that is, talk about particular things, places or people,
which have played a central role in the philosophy of language for
more than a century. They argue that attention to the 'reflexive'
or 'utterance-bound' contents of utterances sheds new light on
these old problems. Their important study proposes a new approach
to pragmatics and should be of wide interest to philosophers of
language and linguists.
