Reihe: Current Research in the Semantics / Pragmatics Interface

This is the first book to collect research on game-theoretic tools in the analysis of language with particular reference to semantics and pragmatics. In three parts, it provides a historical overview of how game theory came to be used in the analysis of linguistic meaning, then its application to pragmatics, and finally its applications to semantics (see below for ToC). The book is a balanced combination of philosophical, linguistic, logical and mathematical argumentation.

The book also has a self-contained introductory tutorial, written by the editor, to give a gentle introduction to the complex topics covered later in the book. This is especially important given its multidisciplinary market.

- International contributions from known leaders in the field
- Part of the Current Research in Semantics/Pragmatics Interface series
