This book steers a middle course between two opposing conceptions that currently dominate the field of semantics, the logical and cognitive approaches. Patrick Duffley brings to light the inadequacies of both of these frameworks, arguing that linguistic semantics must be based on the linguistic sign itself and on the meaning that it conveys across the full range of its uses. The book offers 12 case studies that demonstrate the explanatory power of a sign-based semantics, dealing with topics such as complementation with aspectual and causative verbs, control and raising, wh- words, full-verb inversion, and existential-there constructions. It calls for a radical revision of the semantics/pragmatics interface, proposing that the dividing line be drawn between content that is linguistically encoded and content that is not encoded but still communicated. While traditional linguistic analysis often places meaning at the level of the sentence or construction, this volume argues that meaning belongs at the lower level of linguistic items, where the linguistic sign is stored in a stable, permanent, and direct relation with its meaning outside of any particular context. Building linguistic analysis from the ground up in this way provides it with a more solid foundation and increases its explanatory power.

Wei Tanga and Zhengjun Linb, Journal of Pragmatics With Duffley's innovative view of meaning instantiated by substantial case studies from real discourse situations, the monograph is an impressive undertaking which opens more space to the discussion of meaning. In this regard, this book comes highly recommended to researchers interested in semantics, pragmatics and various approaches to the study of meaning. It may also be of interest to those concerned with the application of such a view of meaning to second language acquisition.

Övrig information

Patrick Duffley is Professor of English Linguistics at Université Laval in Quebec City. His research uses concepts inspired by cognitive grammar and Guillaumian psychomechanical theory to develop a properly linguistic-semantic approach to grammar and syntax. He has published monographs on the English infinitive and gerund-participle, as well as numerous articles on modal auxiliaries, wh-words, negative polarity, indefinite determiners, and both full verb and auxiliary inversion. His most recent book, Reclaiming Control as a Semantic and Pragmatic Phenomenon, was published by John Benjamins in 2014.
