书名: Linguistic Meaning, Truth Conditions and Relevance: The Case of Concessives (Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Languages and Cognition)
作者: Corinne Iten (Author)
出版社: Palgrave Macmillan (December 8, 2005)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0333995732
ISBN-13: 978-0333995730
Book Description
Many linguists and philosophers of language explain linguistic meaning in terms of truth conditions. This book focuses on the meanings of expressions that escape such truth-conditional treatment, in particular the concessives: but, even if, and although. Corinne Iten proposes semantic analyses of these expressions based on the cognitive framework of relevance theory. A thoroughly cognitive approach to linguistic meaning is presented in which linguistic forms are seen as mapping onto mental entities, rather than individuals and properties in the real world. Researchers and advanced students in pragmatics will find this account lucid, clear and accessible.
