Lying at the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface

ISBN: 9781614510925 出版年：2014 页码：266 Meibauer, Jorg De Gruyter Mouton

While lying has been a topic in the philosophy of language, there has been a lack of genuine linguistic analysis of lying. Exploring lying at the semantics-pragmatics interface, this book takes a contextualist stand by arguing that untruthful implicatures and presuppositions are part of the total signification of the act of lying.
