This volume addresses foundational issues of context-dependence and
indexicality, which are at the center of the current debate within
the philosophy of language. Topics include the scope of
context-dependency, the nature of content and the character of
input data of cognitive processes relevant for the interpretation
of utterances. There's also coverage of the role of beliefs and
intentions as contextual factors, as well as the validity of
arguments in context-sensitive languages. The contributions
consider foundational issues regarding context-sensitivity from
three different, yet related, perspectives on the phenomenon of
context-dependence: representational, structural, and functional.
The contributors not only address the representational, structural
and/or functional problems separately but also study their mutual
connections, thus furthering the debate and bringing competing
approaches closer to unification and consensus. This text appeals
to students and researchers within the field. This is a very useful
collection of essays devoted to the roles of context in the study
of language. Its essays provide a useful overview of the current
debates on this topic, and they put forth novel contributions that
will undoubtedly be of relevance for the development of all areas
in philosophy and linguistics interested in the notion of context.
