Description

Context-Sensitivity and Semantic Minimalism: New Essays on Semantics and Pragmatics by Gerhard Preyer and Georg Peter. This collection of 15 essays explores how the meaning of language is shaped by its context. At the heart of the debate is a theory that combines semantic minimalism with speech act pluralism to capture the role of context in communication. The contributors to this volume present a range of perspectives on the significance of context, revealing its far-reaching implications for the philosophy of language and linguistics. The discussions in this book cover various aspects of language and meaning, shedding light on the complex relationships between words, contexts, and actions. By examining these connections, the authors aim to deepen our understanding of how language is used in everyday communication.
