Description

This collection on François Recanati's philosophy of language deals with core issues in the contemporary philosophy of language. It includes topics as central as the existence of unarticulated constituents in what is literally said, the interface semantics and pragmatics, the existence and character of primary pragmatic processes in the formation of what is said, the status of the availability and cooperative principles, the compatibility between Gricean perspective about meaning and the externalist paradigm derived from the works of Kripke and Putnam, the difference between literal and non-literal uses of language, the status of the discourse of fiction.

Contributions written by distinguished specialists in linguistics and philosophy of language are each followed by Recanati's own comments and 'reply'. The current 'hot' concerns in the discipline, and the diverse ways in which it will develop in the future, are debated in lively style.
