This contribution to Palgrave's 'Advances' series addresses a wide range
of issues that have arisen in post-Gricean pragmatic theory, in chapters
by distinguished authors. Among the specific topics covered are scalar
implicatures, lexical semantics and pragmatics, indexicality, procedural
meaning, the semantics and pragmatics of negation. The volume includes
both defences and critiques of Relevance Theory and of Neo-Gricean
Pragmatics.
