Infos

This edited volume on contextualism and pragmatics is interdisciplinary in character and contains contributions from linguistics, cognitive science and socio-pragmatics. Going beyond conventional contextual matters of truth-conditions and pragmatic intrusion, this text deals with a variety of issues including hyperbole, synonymy, reference, argumentation, schizophrenia, rationality, morality, silence and clinical pragmatics. Contributions also address the semantics/pragmatics debate and show to what extent the theory of contextualism can be applied.  This volume is based on a unitary research project financed by the University of Messina and appeals to students and researchers working in linguistics and the philosophy of language. 

Alessandro Capone has a Doctorate in linguistics (University of Oxford) and a doctorate in philosophy of language (University of Palermo). He is full professor of linguistics. He is also a series editor for Springer, an editor for Intercultural Pragmatics, author of five monographs and three books of poems, editor of 16 international volumes, and author of papers published in top international journals. He is a board member of numerous international journals

Assunta Penna is Ph.D in Cognitive Sciences (University of Messina). Among her main research interests are: media languages, digitalization of public administrations; women and the media; Internet Studies. She has written a number of research papers.
