P. Gärdenfors on Pragmatics - Dictionary of Arguments
I 72 Pragmatics/GärdenforsVsChomsky/Gärdenfors: For Chomsky, the pragmatics is only the waste basket for the remains: context, deixis, etc.). Gärdenfors: for a theory of the evolution of language, we must proceed differently: pragmatics before semantics before syntax. Gärdenfors: the pragmatics of a communication system will not determine the semantic structure. The meaning space can be divided in many different ways. Also, the semantics does not determine the syntax. However, the semantic structures will provide limitations on which syntactic structures are possible or likely._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
