The contextual contributions to meaning are at the core of the
debate about the semantics/pragmatics distinction, one of the
liveliest topics in current philosophy of language and linguistics.
The controversy between semantic minimalists and contextualists
regarding context and semantic content is a conspicuous example of
the debate's relevance. This collection of essays, written by
leading philosophers as well as talented young researchers, offers
new approaches to the ongoing discussion about the status of
lexical meaning and the role of context dependence in linguistic
theorizing. It covers a broad range of issues in semantics and
pragmatics such as presuppositions, reference, lexical meaning,
discourse relations and information structure, negation, and
metaphors. The book is an essential reading for philosophers,
linguists, and graduate students of philosophy of language and
linguistics.
