REPORT


Palgrave Studies ill Pragmatics, Lallguage (//1(1 Cogllition Series Editors: Noel Burton-Roberts and Robyn Carston Series Advisors: Kent Bach, Anne Bezuidenhout, Richard Breheny, Sam Glucksberg, Francesca Happe, Fran,ois Recanati, Deirdre Wilson Polgraw Studies ill Praglllatics, Lallguage alld Cogllitiun is a new series of high

quality research monographs and edited collections of essays focusing on the human pragmatic capacity and its interaction with naturallanguage semantics and other faculties of mind. A central interest is the interface of pragmatics with the linguistic system(s), with the 'theory of mind' capacity and with other mental reasoning and general problem-solving capacities. Work of a social or cultural anthropological kind will be included if firmly embedded in a cognitive framework. Given the interdisciplinarity of the focal issues, relevant research will come from linguistics, philosophy of language, theoretical and experimental pragmatics, psychology and child development. The series will aim to reflect all kinds of research in the relevant fields - conceptual, analytical and experimental. Titfts illelude:
