Truth-conditional pragmatics [electronic resource] / by Franc�ois R�ecanati. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2010. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Recanati argues against the traditional understanding of the semantics/pragmatics divide. Through half a dozen case studies he shows that 'pragmatic modulation' interacts with the grammar-driven process of semantic composition. As a result what an utterance says cannot be neatly separated from what the speaker means.
