This contribution to Palgrave's 'Advances' series addresses a wide
range of issues that have arisen in post-Gricean pragmatic theory,
in chapters by distinguished authors. Among the specific topics
covered are scalar implicatures, lexical semantics and pragmatics,
indexicality, procedural meaning, the semantics and pragmatics of
negation. The volume includes both defences and critiques of
Relevance Theory and of Neo-Gricean Pragmatics.
This book expounds and defends a new conception of the relation
between truth and meaning. Atlas argues that the sense of a
sense-general sentence radically underdetermines (independently of
indexicality) its truth-conditional content. He applies this
linguistic analysis to illuminate old and new philosophical
problems of meaning, truth, falsity, negation, existence,
presupposition, and implicature. In particular, he demonstrates how
the concept of ambiguity has been misused and confused with other
concepts of meaning, and how the interface between semantics and
pragmatics has been misunderstood. The problems he tackles are
common to philosophy, linguistics, cognitive psychology, and
artificial intelligence, and his conclusions will be of interest to
all those working in these fields.

This fresh look at the philosophy of language focuses on the interface between a theory of literal meaning and pragmatics - a philosophical examination of the relationship between meaning and language use and its contexts.
