Beskrivning

A collaboration between three distinguished professors of linguistics and philosophy.The result of the collaboration between three distinguished philosophers, this book comprises the best sample of one of the most original theories in contemporary philosophy of language and communication—Critical Pragmatics. They present the development of the theory from its initial sprout, with “Three Demonstrations and a Funeral” (2006) as its first visible result, to a critical clarification of its tenets in “Critical Pragmatics: Nine Misconceptions” (2023). After Korta and Perry’s Critical Pragmatics (2011), this is the most important book on Critical Pragmatics, as it was conceived, developed and applied by its creators. Having de Ponte, Korta and Perry’s most important papers together on one place will be of great value to both philosophers and linguists.

Recensioner i media

It is wonderful to have all seventeen of these papers (previously dispersed across myriad journals and books) together in a single volume, amply demonstrating the explanatory power and depth of the Critical Pragmatics paradigm. The volume will be an indispensable reference for anyone wanting to understand how linguistic communication works.
