Ilse Depraetere has held positions at KULeuven (Campus Kortrijk) and KUBrussel and is currently Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Lille 3. She is a member of the research group Savoirs, Textes, Langage (UMR 8163 STL). Raphael Salkie is Professor of Language Studies at the University of Brighton. He has taught at the Universities of Poitiers, Paris XIII, Paris VII, and Lille3, as well as the University of Zimbabwe.Both Editors have published widely on tense, aspect and modality, the semantics/pragmatics interface being in the foreground of their publications. They organised and actively contributed to the workshop series ‘The semantics/pragmatics interface: linguistic, logical and philosophical perspectives’. Both have been involved in translation teaching and research. Their joint publication, ‘Tense’, appeared in the Routledge Handbook of Semantics, Nick Riemer (ed.), published in 2015.

“This volume is a must-read book for any scholar who shows a keen interest in the issue of the boundary between semantics and pragmatics. And the format of the book is greatly impressive … . this volume, without any doubt, provides readers with a general picture of the most recent studies around the semantics–pragmatics interface, shedding new light on future research.” (Long Zhang and Shaojie Zhang, Journal of Linguistics, Vol. 55 (1), 2019)“The book offers an extraordinary variety of specimens of collaboration between philosophers, linguists, and logicians on cross-boundary topics in semantics and pragmatics. … everyone with an interest in cross-boundaries research in semantics and (near-side) pragmatics will find much to chew on in this volume.” (Kepa Korta, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, ndpr.nd.edu, October, 2017)
