Book Synopsis Particles at the Semantics/pragmatics Interface by : Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen
Book excerpt: This book elucidates the nature of the semantics / pragmatics distinction in both synchrony and diachrony and proposes a definition of semantics and pragmatics that is orthogonal to the question of truth-conditionality. A corollary aim of the study is to propose an account of how and why erstwhile pragmatically-determined elements of meaning may, in the course of time, become semanticized.
