Towards the Relating Pragmatics: The Case of Conjunction

Abstract

The paper presents the prospects and potential of a new pragmatic approach to natural language—the relating pragmatics. The relating pragmatics grows out of relating semantics developed for relating logic. I propose various ways to build relating pragmatics and illustrate the general ideas with two areas of application: the interpretation and projection of presuppositions and the interpretation and projection of scalar implicatures. I chose the issue of the semantic and pragmatic understanding of conjunction as the main background for the discussion.

Keywords:

relating semantics/pragmatics, conjunction, presupposition, trivalent logics, scalar implicature, projection
