Semantics, Pragmatics and Meaning Revisited: The Case of Conditionals by Magdale

Description: Semantics, Pragmatics and Meaning Revisited by Magdalena Sztencel This book systematically investigates what follows about meaning in language if current views on the limited, or even redundant, role of linguistic semantics are taken to their radical conclusion. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book systematically investigates what follows about meaning in language if current views on the limited, or even redundant, role of linguistic semantics are taken to their radical conclusion. Focusing on conditionals, the book defends a wholly pragmatic, wholly inferential account of meaning – one which foregrounds a reasoning subjects individual state of mind. The topics discussed in the book include conceptual content, internalism and externalism, the semantics-pragmatics distinction, meaning holism and explicit versus implicit communication. These topics and the authors analysis of conditionals will allow the reader to engage with some traditional and current research in linguistics, philosophy and psychology.
