Context-Sensitivity and Semantic Minimalism

Fifteen specially written papers examine the ways in which the
content of what we say is dependent on the context in which we say it.
At the centre of the current debate on this subject is Cappelen and
Lepore`s claim that context-sensitivity in language is best captured by
a combination of semantic minimalism and speech act pluralism. Using
this theory as their starting point, the contributors to this volume
develop a variety of different views about the role of context in
communication, and reveal its wide-ranging implications for all issues
in the philosophy of language and linguistics.
