Implicatures
Offers an accessible and thorough introduction to implicatures in pragmatics, and its interfaces with language and cognition.
Why Language?
There is, at present, no book introducing the general issue of why language is specific to human beings, how it works, why language is not communication and communication is not language, why languages vary and how they evolved. Based on the most recent works in linguistics and pragmatics, Why Language? addresses many questions that everyone has about language. Starting from false claims about language and languages, showing that language is not communication and communication is not language, the first part (Language and Communication) ends by proposing a difference between linguistic rules and communicative principles. The second part (Language, Society, Discourse) includes domains of lang...
Non-Lexical Pragmatics
This book presents both general issues in pragmatic theories and specific arguments for an inferential approach to pragmatics. At the present time, pragmatics is generally approached from the neo- and post-Gricean perspectives. These perspectives, which stem from philosophical theories of meaning, can be viewed as paradigms, that is, sets of concepts, procedures and results which structure scientific investigations. The main purpose of the book is to defend a new post-Gricean approach to the substantial lexicon and to the functional lexicon (tenses, connectives), and more specifically to explore lexical and non-lexical pragmatics. A precise approach to lexical and non-lexical pragmatic conte...
Language and Truth
Language and Truth develops the theoretical framework of language, truth, and communication. This is vital reading for scholars, researchers and students
Tense, Mood and Aspect
This book is a collection of articles dealing with theoretical issues in the study of tense, mood and aspect, as well as with specific semantic and syntactic problems raised by linguistic expressions dedicated to these domains across a variety of languages. Through these papers, strong variations are explored, but also crosslinguistic convergences are investigated. Numerous phenomena so far often left aside in linguistics are described and enlightened by different scientific standpoints, which they serve to illustrate. The languages investigated in this volume include Germanic languages (Dutch, English, German), Romance (French, Catalan, Italian), Slavic (Serbo-Croatian, Czech, Russian), Gre...
Aspects of Linguistic Variation
Linguistic variation is a topic of ongoing interest to the field. Its description and its explanations continue to intrigue scholars from many different backgrounds. By taking a deliberately broad perspective on the matter, covering not only crosslinguistic and diachronic but also intralinguistic and interspeaker variation and examining phenomena ranging from negation over connectives to definite articles in well- and lesser-known languages, the volume furthers our understanding of variation in general. The papers offer new insights into, among other things, the theoretical notion of comparative concepts, the social or mental nature of language structure, the areal factor in lexical typology and the diachronic implications of semantic maps. The collection will thus be of relevance to typologists and historical linguists, as well as to people studying variation within the areas of cognitive and functional linguistics.
Introduction à la linguistique contemporaine - 4e éd.
La linguistique est la discipline qui a eu le plus d’influence sur le développement des sciences humaines au XXe siècle bien que son importance ait diminué au cours de ces dernières décennies, de par l’émergence de paradigmes scientifiques nouveaux (sciences cognitives, neurosciences) et l’abandon progressif de la coupure entre sciences de la nature et sciences humaines.
Initiation à la linguistique française - 3e éd.
Initiation à la linguistique française présente de manière accessible mais complète les domaines de la linguistique : langage et communication, phonétique et phonologie, syntaxe, morphologie, sémantique, pragmatique. Cette synthèse offre aussi un état actuel des connaissances en philosophie du langage et de l’esprit, psychologie cognitive, neurosciences et pragmatique cognitive. Conçu à partir d’un cours universitaire accompagné de travaux pratiques, cet ouvrage est le fruit d’une longue expérience d’enseignement auprès d’étudiants de littérature, de linguistique et de psychologie en première année de licence.
Essays in Speech Act Theory
Any study of communication must take into account the nature and role of speech acts in a broad context. This book addresses questions such as: - What do we mean? - How do we say it? and - How is it understood? in the broad context of universal, socio-cultural and psychological issues that bear on human communication. It presents an overview of current issues in speech act theory that are at the center of human and social sciences dealing with language, thought and action, building on John Searle's famous article 'How Performatives Work' (included in this book). The contributions by linguists, psychologists, computer scientists, and philosophers thus address issues of communication that are crucial in conversation analysis, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, psychology and philosophy, and a general understanding of how we communicate. The book is suitable for courses with an extensive bibliography for further reading and an Index.
Interdisciplinary Studies in Pragmatics, Culture and Society
This volume is part of the series ‘Pragmatics, Philosophy and Psychology’, edited for Springer by Alessandro Capone. It is intended for an audience of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postgraduate and advanced researchers. This volume focuses on societal pragmatics. One of the main concerns of societal pragmatics is the world of language users. We are interested in the investigation of linguistic practices in the context of societal practices (‘praxis’, to use a term used in the Wittgensteinian and other traditions). It is clear that the world of users, including their practices, their culture, and their social aims has to be taken into account and seriously investigat...
