Abstract:

"Over the past thirty years, linguists and philosophers have started to underline the phenomenon of 'semantic underdetermination': the encoded meaning of the linguistic expressions employed by a speaker underdetermines the proposition explicitly expressed by the utterance. Pragmatic inference contributes to explicit content -- even after disambiguation and reference assignment. On this point agreement among most pragmatic scholars is more or less established. Far less consensus surrounds the analysis of the 'semantic' level of 'what is said', and the status of the 'pragmatic' contributions of the proposition expressed. There are a wide variety of positions. Disagreement between neo-Griceans and post-Griceans mainly concerns whether it is necessary to postulate a minimal notion of 'what is said', apart from the enriched one."
