{"product_id":"quotation-and-truth-conditional-pragmatics","title":"Quotation and Truth-Conditional Pragmatics","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the past decades, quotation theories have developed roughly along three lines—quotation types, meaning effects, and theoretical orientations toward the semantics\/pragmatics distinction. Currently, whether the quoted expression is truth-conditionally relevant to the quotational sentence, and if there is a truth-conditional impact, whether it is generated via semantic or pragmatic processes, have become the central concerns of quotation studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, quotation is clearly defined for the first time as a constituent embedded within yet distinctive from the quotational sentence. Also, as the first monograph to address the semantics\/pragmatics boundary dispute over quotation, it argues that the semantic content of quotation amounts to its contribution to the intuitive truth-conditional content of the quotational utterance via two modes of presentation, which are incarnated in the functioning of quotation marks and manifested as use and mention. The use\/mention-based analysis in this book can shed light on the semantic theorizing of other metalinguistic phenomena, while the semantics\/pragmatics perspective will provide methodological implications for other relevant studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new conception of quotation and thought-provoking analysis on use\/mention, truth-conditional pragmatics, and the semantics\/pragmatics boundary in this book will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy of language and linguistics. It will also serve as a clear guide to the current state of quotation studies and how to formulate a semantic theory of quotation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247588954456,"sku":"9780367593490","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367593490_2cce9814-04c8-4656-87f4-1dcbb1c7ecd3.jpg?v=1778617832","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/quotation-and-truth-conditional-pragmatics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
