Listen "Pragmatics, Philosophy, and Cognition"
Episode Synopsis
These sources represent a collection of academic papers exploring the interplay between philosophy, cognition, and pragmatics, specifically within the context of language and communication. Topics range from the theoretical relationship between philosophy and pragmatics, examining how philosophical frameworks inform language interpretation and how pragmatic issues illuminate philosophical problems, to detailed linguistic analyses of phenomena like hyperbola in ancient Greek theater and the semantics and pragmatics of names. Several papers focus on the cognitive underpinnings of pragmatic understanding, including the role of theory of mind and executive functions in communication, and how these relate to language disorders like aphasia. Other contributions address the complexities of irony as a social phenomenon and the ongoing debate surrounding the nature of presuppositions in indirect reports and the meaning of logical operators like "or" in modal contexts.
