Beskrivning

Linguistics and philosophy, while being two closely-related fields, are often approached with very different methodologies and frameworks. Bringing together a team of interdisciplinary scholars, this pioneering book provides examples of how conversations between the two disciplines can lead to exciting developments in both fields, from both a historical and a current perspective. It identifies a number of key phenomena at the cutting edge of research within both fields, such as reporting and ascribing, describing and referring, narrating and structuring, locating in time and space, typologizing and ontologizing, determining and questioning, arguing and rejecting, and implying and (pre-)supposing. Each chapter takes on a phenomena and explores it through a set of questions which are posed and answered at the outset of each chapter. An accessible and engaging resource, it is essential reading for researchers and students in both disciplines, and will empower exciting and illuminating conversations for years to come.

Recensioner i media

'This collection offers a comprehensive and authoritative survey of where semantics and pragmatics stand after a half century of transformative collaboration between philosophers and linguists. Leading researchers make a powerful case for continued partnership, highlighting questions where progress requires integrating the two perspectives. The volume is an indispensable resource for linguists and philosophers who aspire to deepen our understanding of meaning and communication.' Zoltán Gendler Szabó, John S. Saden Professor of Philosophy, Yale University
