{"product_id":"quotation-and-truth-conditional-pragmatics-xiaofei-wang-9781138090026","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\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\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xiaofei Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138090026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138090026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Xiaofei Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742487097599,"sku":"9781138090026","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quotation-and-truth-conditional-pragmatics-xiaofei-wang-9781138090026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
