Oxford Studien zur Semantik und Pragmatik

Diese Reihe bietet ein dynamisches Forum für originäre Forschung zur Natur von Bedeutung in natürlicher Sprache, die zeitgenössische Semantik und Pragmatik verbindet. Sie fördert wissenschaftliche Arbeiten, die sich sowohl mit historischen als auch mit aktuellen Forschungsansätzen auseinandersetzen und komplexe Ideen einem breiten akademischen Publikum zugänglich machen. Die Sammlung richtet sich an Spezialisten in Linguistik, Philosophie und Kognitionswissenschaften sowie verwandten Gebieten. Ein Hauptmerkmal ist die Untermauerung theoretischer Argumente mit umfangreichen Beispielen, die hauptsächlich aus dem Englischen stammen, aber auch verschiedene Sprachen einbeziehen.

The Semantics and Pragmatics of Honorification
Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-Theoretic Semantics

Empfohlene Lesereihenfolge

  • This book explores linguistic and philosophical issues presented by sentences expressing personal taste, such as Roller coasters are fun, and examines how truth-theoretic semantics can account for expressions of this type. It provides a detailed and explicit formal grammar paired with semantic analysis and pragmatic theory.

    Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-Theoretic Semantics
  • This book explores the semantics and pragmatics of honorifics, expressions that indicate the degree of formality that a speaker feels is required in interacting with another person. The analysis is applied to a variety of empirical examples, particularly from Japanese and Thai, and explores a wide range of related philosophical issues.

    Focusing on the interplay between syntax and human reasoning, Gennaro Chierchia explores polarity sensitive and free choice items to deepen our understanding of language. He offers a new perspective on the semantics of focus and scope, as well as the pragmatics of implicature, positioning these elements within a recursive semantic framework. This investigation sheds light on the complexities of language processing and the cognitive mechanisms behind it.

    Logic in Grammar
  • This book considers how observations about the past influence future behaviour, as expressed in language. Focusing on information gathered from speech and other evidence sources, the author offers a model of how judgements about reliability can be made, and how such judgements factor into how people treat information they acquire via those sources
