Book Synopsis
This volume contains essays that explore explicit and implicit communication through linguistic research. Taking as a framework Paul Grice's theories on "what is said," the contributors explore a number of areas, including the boundary between semantics and pragmatics; the concept of implicit communication; the idea of the logical form of our assertions; the notion of conventional meaning; the phenomenon of deixis, which refers to an utterance that requires context in order to be fully understood; the treatment of definite descriptions; and the different kinds of pragmatic processes.
