The literal and implied meanings of an utterance are derived from first principles assuming little more than the partial rationality of interacting agents. New analyses of a number of diverse phenomena – a wide notion of ambiguity and content encompassing phonetics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and beyond, vagueness, convention and conventional meaning, indeterminacy, universality, the role of truth in communication, semantic change, translation, Frege’s puzzle of informative identities – are developed. Communication, speaker meaning, and reference are defined. Frege’s context and compositional principles are generalized and reconciled in a fixed-point principle, and a detailed critique of Grice, several aspects of Lewis, and some aspects of the Romantic conception of meaning are offered.Topics at the grammar-discourse interface.LinguisticsCommunicationLinguisticsbicsscLinguisticsLinguisticsCommunication.LinguisticsParikh Prashant 707193ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367571803321Communication and content2005016UNINA
