One distinction of considerable strategic value relates to the location of meaning: some aspects of meaning can be found in language and are modelled with semantic values of various kinds; some aspects of meaning can be found in communicative processes and are modelled with pragmatic inferences of one sort or another. One hypothesis of great heuristic utility concerns the relationship that is assumed between the semantic and the pragmatic. This collection of especially commissioned papers examines current thinking on the plausible nature of the semantic, the possible character of the pragmatic and the mechanics of their intersection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Underspecified Preface  Ken Turner and Larry Horn  Part 1 On the Landscape of Negation  1 An (Abridged) Atlas of Negation: Polar Landscape in an Era of Climate Change  Larry Horn  2 Dispelling the Cloud of Unknowing: More on the Syntactic Nature of Neg Raising  Chris Collins and Paul Postal  3 Presuppositions, Negation, and Existence  Barbara Abbott  4 More Ado about nothing: On the Typology of Negative Indefinites  Johan van der Auwera and Lauren van Alsenoy  Part 2 On Sense-Generality and the Semantics\/Pragmatics Landscape  5 Distinguishing Ambiguity from Underspecificity  Una Stojnic, Matthew Stone and Ernie Lepore  6 Metaphor, Minimalism, and Semantic Generality: Seeing Things in Context  Michiel Leezenberg  7 A Radically Pragmatic Account of Number Words and the Reversibility of Scales  Jerrold Sadock  8 Utterances and Expressions in Semantics and Logic  David Braun  Part 3 On Grammar, Inference, and Truth  9 Grammar as Procedures: Language, Interaction, and the Predictive Turn  Ruth Kempson and Ronnie Cann  10 Illusory Inferences in a Question-Based Theory of Reasoning  Philipp Koralus and Salvador Mascarenhas  11 A Commitment-Theoretic Account of Moore’s Paradox  Jack Woods  12 Remarks on Davidson’s Polymorphous Concept of Truth and Its Role in a Theory of Meaning  Ken Turner  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210701824343,"sku":"9789004341999","price":133.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pragmatics-truth-and-underspecification-towards-an-atlas-of-meaning-9789004341999","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
