Series Statement:
Current research in the semantics/pragmatics interface, v. 20
Content:
This book, Utterance Interpretation and Cognitive Models , is a collection of papers that stems from the conference of the same name held at the Free University of Brussels in June 2006. Our main objective is to reconcile armchair theorising about the semantics-pragmatics interface with hypotheses about cognitive architecture. For that reason, the papers in the collection place some of the hottest questions in contemporary philosophy of language within the scope of a psychologically plausible theory of human communication. The collection is articulated into three parts. The first concerns the cognitive counterparts of lexical meanings. The second explores the links between moods and forces. The third looks at the epistemological status of semantic theory from the point of view of human psychology.
Note:
"This volume originated in a workshop organised in Brussels on June 23-24. 2006."--P. xiii.
