Problems and Perspectives on the Limits of Pragmatics: Reply to Critics
Problems and Perspectives on the Limits of Pragmatics: Reply to Critics

Summary/Abstract: The five papers collected here are a testament to the diverse and far-reaching concerns of research in the philosophy of language, semantics, and pragmatics. The authors have not only engaged with our arguments in Imagination and Convention (henceforth IC), but they have worked to bring our ideas into contact with new spheres of language use, new interpretive mechanisms, and new philosophical questions. We are grateful and excited to see our ideas taken up, generalized, and, of course, contested here. In the interest of enriching and challenging this ongoing dialogue, we have prepared a brief reaction to each of the pieces in turn. We hope thereby both to clarify our major points of disagreement with our critics, as well as to highlight the important innovations, extensions and provocations by which our critics have carried the debate forward.
