Imagination and Convention: Distinguishing Grammar and Inference in Language
Oxford: Oxford University Press. Edited by Matthew Stone (2014)
Abstract
How do hearers manage to understand speakers? And how do speakers manage to shape hearers' understanding? Lepore and Stone show that standard views about the workings of semantics and pragmatics are unsatisfactory. They advance an alternative view which better captures what is going on in linguistic communication.Author Profiles
