This is a collection of papers that resulted from the Third International Conference on Contrastive Semantics and Pragmatics that was held at Shanghai International Studies University in September 2005. Their common focus lies in aspects of the contrastive semantics and pragmatics in a wide variety of languages. These aspects include several themes that arise from Gricean and neo-Gricean considerations of contrastive pragmatics; from cognitive semantics and pragmatics, including metaphor and issues that relate to the logical structure of quantification, modality and demonstration; and from contrastive lexical, constructional and discourse semantics. The languages discussed include Afrikaans, Amele, Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Gokana, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Yakut and Zulu.
The Editors: Dingfang Shu is Professor of Linguistics and Director of Research at Shanghai International Studies University. He is President of the Chinese Cognitive Linguistics Association and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Foreign Languages.
Ken Turner teaches linguistics and the philosophy of language at the University of Brighton. He is series co-editor of Current Research in the Semantics/Pragmatics Interface and serves on the editorial boards of the Revue de Sémantique et Pragmatique, Łódź Papers in Pragmatics, the International Review of Pragmatics and the Journal of Foreign Languages.
