Numerous Meanings: The Meaning of English Cardinals and The Legacy of Paul Grice (Current Research in the Semantics / Pragmatics,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Outlandish as it may seem to the uninitiated, the meaning of English cardinal numbers has been the object of many heated and fascinating debates. Notwithstanding the numerous important objections that have been formulated in the last three decades, the (neo)Gricean, scalar account is still the standard semantic description of numerals. In this book, Bultinck writes the history of this implicaturedriven approach and demonstrates that it suffers from methodological insecurity and postulates highly nonconventional meanings of numerals as their "literal meaning", while it confuses the level of lexical semantics with that of utterances and cannot deal with a large number of counterexamples. Relying on the results of an extensive corpusbased analysis, an alternative account of the meaning of English cardinals and the ways in which their interpretation is influenced by other linguistic elements is presented. As such, this analysis constitutes a prism that offers today's linguist an iridescent history of one of the most fascinating, if often misconstrued, topics in contemporary meaning research: the conversational implicatures."Bert Bultinck's book presents rich empirical data, backed by sound theoretical understanding, which results in a strong challenge to standard neoGricean approaches and makes a valuable contribution to research on the semantics and pragmatics of number terms."Robyn Carston, University College London, UK"Bultinck's Numerous Meanings is a unique contribution to the semantics and pragmatics of cardinal numbers, taking Grice's theory of implicatures to its limits, and raising numerous and original questions about meaning along the way."Jef Verschueren, University of Antwerp, Belgium
