Truth-Conditional Pragmatics

Truth-Conditional Pragmatics

by François Recanati (Author)

Synopsis

Recanati argues against the traditional understanding of the semantics/pragmatics divide. Through half a dozen case studies, he shows that 'pragmatic modulation' interacts with the grammar-driven process of semantic composition. As a result, what an utterance says cannot be neatly separated from what the speaker means.
