Bøker i Current Research in the Semant-serien

A collection of invited papers that intends to explore the nature of the semantics/pragmatics interface by examining the extent to which the analysis of certain expressions or constructions can be pragmaticised. It contains papers that address the topic of 'making pragmatics semantic'.

The contributions in this volume represent an inflection point in the delimitation and understanding of the notion of procedural meaning and open new paths for future research.

This collection takes the classical truth-conditional view of formal semantics one step further and closer to a realistic semantic theory that covers speaker's intentions, the knowledge of discourse participants, and the meaning of vague or paradoxical utterances.

In Potential Questions at the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface Edgar Onea proposes a novel theory of the role of the question under discussion in the interpretation of indefinites, appositives and further grammatical constructions.
