This book seeks to bring together the pragmatic theory of ''meaning as use'' with the traditional semantic approach that considers meaning in terms of truth conditions. Daniel Gutzmann adopts core ideas by the philosopher David Kaplan in assuming that the meaning of expressions such as oops or damn can be captured by giving the conditions under which they can be felicitously used. He develops a multidimensional approach to meaning, called hybridsemantics, that incorporates use conditions alongside truth conditions in a unified framework. This new system overcomes the empirical gaps and conceptual problems associated with previous multidimensional systems; it also lessens the burden on the compositional system by shifting restrictions on the combination ofuse-conditional expressions to the lexicon-semantics interface instead of building them directly into the combinatoric rules. The approach outlined in this book can capture the entire meaning of complex expressions, and also has natural applications in the analysis of sentence mood and modal particles in German, as Gutzmann''s two detailed case studies demonstrate. The book will be a valuable resource for linguists working in the fields of semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language, aswell as to philosophers and cognitive scientists with an interest in meaning in language.

This volume provides a detailed account of the syntax of expressive language, that is, utterances that express, rather than describe, the emotions and attitudes of the speaker. While the expressive function of natural language has been widely studied in recent years, the role that grammar plays in the interpretation of expressive items has been largely neglected in the semantic and pragmatic literature.Daniel Gutzmann demonstrates that expressivity has strong syntactic reflexes that interact with the semantic and pragmatic interpretation of these utterances, and argues that expressivity is in fact a syntactic feature on a par with other established features such as tense and gender. Evidence for this claim is drawn from three detailed case studies of expressive adjectives, intensifiers, and vocatives; their puzzling properties are accounted for through a minimalist approach to syntacticfeatures and agreement, which shows that expressivity can partake in agreement operations, trigger movement, and be selected for syntactically. The analysis not only supports the hypothesis of expressive syntax, but also highlights the hidden role that grammar may play in phenomena that are traditionallyconsidered to be solely semantic in nature.

This handbook offers a detailed and wide-ranging account of expressivity, the essential property that allows natural language to not just describe something in the world, but to directly express or display the speaker's attitudes or emotions. Following the editors' introduction, which outlines the expressive turn in linguistics, the volume is divided into five parts. Part I lays out the historical background and foundations of expressivity in philology, philosophy, semiotics, and rhetoric, before Part II shows how it plays a major role in all linguistic domains, fields of research, and frameworks, from syntax and semantics to corpus linguistics and neurolinguistics. Chapters in Part III explore specific linguistic phenomena such as slurs, interjections, honorifics, and metaphor, while those in Part IV show how the concept of expressivity is valuable in domains beyond traditional linguistic boundaries, including in pedagogy, law, and music. Finally, Part V presents a cross-linguistic perspective, revealing how expressivity manifests differently across a range of languages, from French and German to Japanese and Mandarin. Providing critical surveys of existing research as well as new insights and innovative perspectives, The Oxford Handbook of Expressivity will be an indispensable resource for linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists.

Dass Wörter und zusammengesetzte sprachliche Ausdrücke eine wörtliche Bedeutung haben, ist allen Sprecher:innen einer Sprache mehr oder weniger bewusst. Doch wie lässt sich diese Bedeutung (unabhängig vom kommunikativen Sinn) präzise und genau beschreiben? Und wie ergibt sich die Bedeutung von komplexen Ausdrücken aus den Einzelteilen? Mit genau diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich die linguistische Semantik, in die dieses Buch kompakt einführt. Dabei orientiert es sich nach einer Übersicht über grundlegende Annahmen der Semantik sowie einem Überblick über Bedeutungsrelationen an den für die Sprachdidaktik wichtigen Wortarten und Beschreibungsebenen: Semantische Aspekte von Verben und den Kategorien der Nominalphrase, Adjektiven, sogenannten "Füllwörtern" sowie Appositionen werden anschaulich und ausführlich behandelt. Durch seinen Fokus auf unterrichtsrelevante Kategorien ist dieses Buch insbesondere an den Bedürfnissen von Lehrer:innen und Lehramtsstudierenden ausgerichtet.

Der Band führt in die zentralen Bereiche und Themen der Pragmatik ein – mit Hinweisen auf deren formale Modellierung. Neben klassischen Themen wie Implikaturen, Präsuppositionen und Sprechakten werden auch theoretische Aspekte wie der Begriff des Common Grounds und die Strukturierung des Diskurses mittels expliziter oder impliziter Fragen (Questions under Discussion) vorgestellt. Darauf aufbauend präsentiert der Band auch komplexere Phänomene wie Pronomenauflösung oder referentielle Bewegung, die wesentlich sind, um die Schnittstelle zwischen Semantik und Pragmatik zu charakterisieren.

Beyond Expressives: Explorations in Use-Conditional Meaning offers empirical and theoretical studies of expressions whose meaning falls outside the standard realm of truth-conditional semantics. Aspects of meaning that are better captured by their use-conditions instead came into the spotlight of formal semantics recently, mainly due to the raised interest in expressions like interjections or swear words. Going beyond such expressives, the contributions provide detailed semantic analyses of a broad range of use-conditional items, including particles, non-inflectional constructions, personal datives and interpretational effects of focus. This volume thereby proves that the empirical domain of use-conditional meaning is as diverse as the truth-conditional one, equally amenable to systematic semantic treatments. This book is an exciting, eye-opening collection of novel and challenging data from English, German and Japanese. For anyone who needs persuading that there is more to language expressivity than informational content, this book is a must. For those who need no persuading, this book will be no less a treat. It offers to all not merely sets of entrancing new observations, but also analyses which feed one’s imagination as to how best to extend current methodologies to make these data tractable for formal modelling.

Approaches to Meaning
Composition, Values, and Interpretation

The basic claims of traditional truth-conditional semantics are that the semantic interpretation of a sentence is connected to the truth of that sentence in a situation, and that the meaning of the sentence is derived compositionally from the semantic values meaning of its constituents and the rules that combine them. Both claims have been subject to an intense debate in linguistics and philosophy of language. The original research papers collected in this volume test the boundaries of this classic view from a linguistic and a philosophical point of view by investigating the foundational notions of composition, values and interpretation and their relation to the interfaces to other disciplines. They take the classical theories one step further and closer to a realistic semantic theory that covers speaker’s intentions, the knowledge of discourse participants, meaning of fiction and literature, as well as vague and paradoxical utterances.Ede Zimmermann is a pioneering researcher in semantics whose students, friends, and colleagues have collected in this volume an impressive set of studies at the interfaces of semantics. How do meanings interact with the context and with intentions and beliefs of the people conversing? How do meanings interact with other meanings in an extended discourse? How can there be paradoxical meanings? Researchers interested in semantics, pragmatics, philosophy of language, anyone interested in foundational and empirical issues of meaning, will find inspiration and instruction in this wonderful volume.
