The Oxford hand­book of exper­i­men­tal seman­tics and prag­mat­ics
This hand­book is the first to explore the grow­ing field of exper­i­men­tal seman­tics and prag­mat­ics. In the past 20 years, exper­i­men­tal data has become a major source of evi­dence for build­ing the­o­ries of lan­guage mean­ing and use, encom­pass­ing a wide range of top­ics and meth­ods. Fol­low­ing an intro­duc­tion from the edi­tors, the chap­ters in this vol­ume offer an up-to-date account of research in the field span­ning 31 dif­fer­ent top­ics, includ­ing scalar impli­ca­tures, pre­sup­po­si­tions, coun­ter­fac­tu­als, quan­tifi­ca­tion, metaphor, prosody, and polite­ness, as well as explor­ing how and why a par­tic­u­lar exper­i­men­tal method is suit­able for address­ing a giv­en the­o­ret­i­cal debate. The volume’s for­ward-look­ing approach also seeks to active­ly iden­ti­fy ques­tions and meth­ods that could be fruit­ful­ly com­bined in future exper­i­men­tal research.
Writ­ten in a clear and acces­si­ble style, this hand­book will appeal to stu­dents and schol­ars from advanced under­grad­u­ate lev­el upwards in a range of fields, includ­ing seman­tics and prag­mat­ics, phi­los­o­phy of lan­guage, psy­cholin­guis­tics, com­pu­ta­tion­al lin­guis­tics, cog­ni­tive sci­ence, and neu­ro­science.

Ani­mal per­cep­tion and lit­er­ary lan­guage
Ani­mal Per­cep­tion and Lit­er­ary Lan­guage shows that the per­cep­tu­al con­tent of read­ing and writ­ing derives from our embod­ied minds. Don­ald Wes­ling con­sid­ers how humans, evolved from ani­mals, have learned to code per­cep­tion of move­ment into sen­tences and scenes. The book first spec­i­fies terms and ques­tions in ani­mal phi­los­o­phy and sur­veys recent work on per­cep­tion, then describes attrib­ut­es of mul­ti­species think­ing and defines a tra­di­tion of writ­ers in this lin­eage. Final­ly, the text con­cludes with lit­er­a­ture com­ing into full focus in twelve case stud­ies of var­ied read­ings. Over­all, Wesling’s book offers not a new method of lit­er­ary crit­i­cism, but a reveal of what we all do with per­cep­tu­al con­tent when we read.
