How does a listener understand a sarcastic ' That was a wonderful speech' when the words point to a positive review? Why do students of introductory logic interpret ' Some cabs are yellow' as ' Not all cabs are yellow' when the meaning of ' some' is compatible with ' all' ? Pragmatics aims to explain how listeners draw out a speaker' s meaning from utterances, an astonishing feat when one considers that the words in a sentence hardly suffice for fully comprehending what the speaker intended. Given the nature of pragmatics, it is going to take the interdisciplinary firepower of many cognitive sciences - including philosophy, experimental psychology, linguistics and neuroscience - to fully appreciate this uniquely human ability. In this book, Ira Noveck, a leading pioneer in experimental pragmatics, engagingly walks the reader through the phenomena, the theoretical debates, the experiments as well as the historical development of this growing academic discipline.
' This richly illuminating guide by one of the pioneers of experimental pragmatics offers a unique insider' s view of the origins, current state and future prospects of the field. Brilliantly enjoyable, accessible and fair-minded. ' Deirdre Wilson, University College London
