Abstract

The chapters composing this volume offer a rich panorama of the lively interaction between expressive meaning and speech acts, with important empirical and theoretical consequences for our understanding of the interface between semantics and pragmatics, and its impact in syntax. It is our hope that this book will provide some inspiration to semanticists, pragmatists and syntacticians alike.
