"An excellent collection of papers on an important and hotly debated issue. The editors set the stage with a helpful introductory overview (more lively and opinionated than is usual in such introductions), and the papers offer detailed analysis of specific constructions, as well as illumination of general foundational questions about how semantics and pragmatics should be practiced" - Robert Stalnaker, MIT, USA
"The relations between semantics and pragmatics have always been troubled, and are likely to remain so. This volume will not settle the dispute, but it contains scores of new arguments, observations, and ideas that will help to clarify where we stand, and where we might go from here. Where semantics meets pragmatics is required reading for researchers in both fields, whatever those may be" - Bart Geurts, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands
