SEMANTICS PRAGMATICS AND MEANING REVISITED - MA...

This book systematically investigates what follows about meaning in language if current views
on the limited  or even redundant  role of linguistic semantics are taken to their radical
conclusion. Focusing on conditionals  the book defends a wholly pragmatic  wholly inferential
account of meaning - one which foregrounds a reasoning subject's individual state of mind. The
topics discussed in the book include conceptual content  internalism and externalism  the
semantics-pragmatics distinction  meaning holism and explicit versus implicit communication.
These topics and the author's analysis of conditionals will allow the reader to engage with
some traditional and current research in linguistics  philosophy and psychology.
