Papers in the collection concentrate on different issues relevant
for contemporary research within semantics, such as the linguistic
and philosophical status of representations, reference theory and
indexicals, situation semantics, formal semantics, normativity of
meaning and speech acts, and different approaches to context and
contextualism. The authors investigate the links between semantics
and syntax, and between semantics, pragmatics, and speech act
theory, and demonstrate that it is possible to integrate findings
from different disciplines. Recent studies often advocate a
'pragmatic turn' in the study of meaning and context; however, the
papers in the volume show that semantics and meaning remain in the
center of research carried out within contemporary linguistics and
philosophy, especially the philosophy of language. The volume
includes contributions by: Brian Ball (St Anne's College, Oxford),
John Collins (University of East Anglia), Luis Fernandez Moreno
(Complutense University of Madrid), Chris Fox (University of
Essex), Filip Kawczynski (University of Warsaw), Katarzyna
Kijania-Placek (Jagiellonian University), Joanna Klimczyk (Polish
Academy of Sciences), Paul Livingston (University of New Mexico),
Mark Pinder (University of Bristol), Ernesto Perini-Santos
(Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais), Tabea Reiner
(Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat, Munich), Stefan Riegelnik
(University of Zurich), Arthur Sullivan (Memorial University of
Newfoundland), Massimiliano Vignolo (University of Genoa), and
Marian Zouhar (Slovak Academy of Sciences). The volume should be of
interest to linguists, philosophers of language, and philosophers
in general.
