Description
Pursuing Meaning by Emma Borg explores the relationship between semantics and pragmatics, two fundamental areas of linguistic study. The author defends "minimal semantics", which posits that context can only influence literal semantic content in specific cases.
Borg's work aims to clarify the boundaries between semantics and pragmatics, providing a nuanced understanding of how context affects meaning. The book also examines key themes such as word meaning, mindreading, and the relationship between semantics and psychology.
