Description: Meaning in Linguistic Interaction : Semantics, Metasemantics, Philosophy of Language, Paperback by Jaszczolt, Kasia M., ISBN 0198832133, ISBN-13 9780198832133, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book offers a semantic and metasemantic inquiry into the representation of meaning in linguistic interaction. Kasia Jaszczolts view represents the most radical stance on meaning to be found in the contextualist tradition and thereby the most radical take on the semantics/pragmatics
boundary. It allows for the selection of the cognitively plausible object of enquiry without being constrained by such distinctions as what is said/what is implicated or what is linguistic and what is extralinguistic. She argues that this is the only promising stance on meaning. The analysis
transcends the traditional distinctions drawn, and traditional questions posed, in post-Gricean pragmatics and philosophy of language. It heavily relies on the dynamic construction of meaning in discourse, using truth conditions as a tool but at the same time conforming to pragmatic compositionality
? whereby aspects of meaning that enter this composition have very different provenance.
Meaning in Linguistic Interaction builds on the authors earlier work on Default Semantics and adds new arguments in favour of radical contextualism as well as novel applications, focusing on the role of salience, the flexibility of word meaning, the literal/nonliteral distinction, and the dynamic
nature of a character, as well as offering an entirely new perspective on the indexical/nonindexical distinction. It contains a state-of-the-art discussion of the semantics/pragmatics boundary disputes, focusing on varieties of semantic minimalism and contextualism and on the limitations of an
indexicalism. Jaszczolts work is illustrated with examples from a variety of languages and offers some formal representations of meaning in the metalanguage of Default Semantics.
