Pursuing Meaning

In "Pursuing Meaning," renowned philosopher Emma Borg delves into the intricate relationship between semantics and pragmatics. Published by Oxford University Press in 2015, this thought-provoking paperback spans 262 pages and offers a fresh perspective on how to delineate these two essential areas of linguistic study. Borg critically evaluates contemporary approaches to the fundamental questions surrounding semantics and pragmatics, advocating for a 'minimal semantics' viewpoint. This approach posits that only rule-governed appeals to context can significantly influence semantic content. Ideal for students and scholars alike, this book invites readers to rethink traditional boundaries in language theory and engage with the complexities of meaning.
