The Semantics-Pragmatics Controversy

Currently, there is a great number of approaches to the semantics-pragmatics distinction on the market. This book is unique in that it offers a comprehensive overview, comparison and critical evaluation of these approaches. At the same time, it covers a wide range of the key current topics in semantics and pragmatics (e. g., the saying/meaning distinction, minimalism vs. contextualism, (generalised) conversational implicatures).
