Abstract:
Standard negation is the basic sentential negation in a language. This article proposes a typology of standard negation that takes into account the whole negative construction and allows explanation of different negation types by different semantico-pragmatic background phenomena. There is semantic and pragmatic asymmetry between affirmation and negation, and this asymmetry is manifested in different ways in the morphosyntax of negative constructions. The primary division in the classification is between symmetric and asymmetric negation. The asymmetric type can be divided into subtypes according to which aspects of the semantico-pragmatic asymmetry are grammaticalized in the negative constructions. Symmetric and asymmetric negative constructions are analogous to the affirmative structure and to the background semantics and pragmatics of negation, respectively.

Abstract:
Agreement minimally involves interaction between morphology and syntax, as a target’s features vary according to the morphological form of a controller in a given syntactic context. However, semantics can also play a role, and the term “semantic agreement” has been used to describe various constructions where morphosyntactic feature values of the agreement target do not match the formal features of the controller, reflecting instead meaning-based properties of the noun. In this paper, we deconstruct instances of “semantic agreement,” as there is good evidence to believe that more than just the semantics is involved in the agreement process. In some cases, e.g. Russian hybrid nouns like vrač ‘doctor’, the local context provides the agreement features, giving a type of “pragmatic agreement”. In other cases, socio-cultural information plays a role, showing a broader type of pragmatic agreement. In light of these observations, we offer a deconstruction of semantic agreement phenomena in order to show the complex ways morphology interacts with syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Finally, we argue that the distinction between syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic agreement is paralleled by (and benefits from) earlier discussions of syntactic versus pragmatic control.

Abstract:
<strong>Abstract. </strong>The aim in this study is to investigate the interface between semantics and pragmatics in relation to the use of the indexical demonstrative ‘haay’ ‘this-S.F.’ in Jordanian Arabic (JA). It is argued here that an analysis of meaning in relation to context-sensitivity inherent in the use of ‘haay’ can give evidence to the view that semantic and pragmatic processes can be distinguished from each other. I have found that the meaning of ‘haay’ consists of three distinct levels: linguistic, semantic, and pragmatic meaning. The denotational and conventional senses of ‘haay’ comprise its linguistic meaning, its semantic meaning is generated when any of the variables in the linguistic meaning is selected in relation to ‘narrow context’, the pragmatic meaning depends on relating the semantic meaning to an entity in the physical context of interaction. The results of this study support the view that the boundary between semantics and pragmatics can be distinctively demarcated.

Abstract:
AbstractThe semantic-pragmatic interface debate is about how much actual situational context the linguistic signs need in order for them to be meaningful in the communicative process. There is evidence that interlocutors in intercultural interactions rely more Some of the ideas in the paper are based on chapter six in Kecskes (2019). on the compositional meaning of linguistic signs (semantics) than contextually supported meaning (pragmatics) because actual situational context cannot help pragmatic implication and interpretation the way it does in L1 communication. At the same time in pragmatic theory there seems to be an agreement between the neo-Gricean account and the post-Gricean account on the fact that the process of implicature retrieval is context-dependent. But will this L1-based contextualism work in intercultural interactions? Is pragmatics impoverished if interlocutors can only partly rely on pragmatic enrichment coming from context and the target language? The paper argues that in fact pragmatics is invigorated rather than impoverished in intercultural communication. A new type of synchronic events-based pragmatics is co-constructed by interlocutors. Instead of relying on the existing conventions, norms and frames of the target language interlocutors create their own temporary frames, formulas and norms. There is pragmaticization of semantics which is a synchronic, (usually) one-off phenomenon in which coded meaning, sometimes without any specific pragmatic enrichment coming from the target language, obtains temporary pragmatic status. This pragmatic enrichment happens as a result of interlocutors’ blending their dictionary knowledge of the linguistic code (semantics) with their basic interpersonal communicative skills and sometimes unusual, not necessarily target language-based pragmatic strategies that suit them very well in their attempt to achieve their communicative goals.

Abstract:
This paper examines the links between pragmatics and semantics with a view to explaining the underpinnings of such links. Pragmatics is the use and interpretation of verbal and non-verbal communication according to context. Semantics on the other hand, is the study of meaning, particularly in terms of the rules of language. The literature of pragmatics and semantics is replete with contentious perspectives on the connections or &ldquo;extent of connections&rdquo; between pragmatics and semantics. The paper explores Traugott&rsquo;s (1989) Tendency of Semantic Change theory as a theoretical framework, and concludes that links abound between pragmatics and semantics because pragmatic use and interpretation of language in a communicative event is a demonstration of some appreciable knowledge of the linguistic conventions (semantics) of the language being used for the communicative event. &nbsp;

Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of pragmatic aspects of the semantics of transformed phrases. Functional-pragmatic features of transformed phrases are explored on examples of structural-semantic transformations of the distributionof the component composition. The structural analysis is presented and the formal features of the phraseological transformations updated by the spreading of the component composition is analyzed. An attempt to find out the causes and purposes of the authors using of the structural-semantic transformations of the component composition spreading of phrases and their influence on the phraseological significance is made in the article.In accordance with the author’s intentions, the pragmatic potential of phraseological transformations in the Czech opinion journalism is clarified. Comparing meaning of the actualized phraseological transformations with the values of phraseological invariants (based on the Czech National Corps), the author identified 5 types of the semantic landslides: 1) specification of semantics; 2) the literalization of semantics; 3) intensification of semantics; 4) expression of semantics; 5) explication of semantics. The pragmatic potential of phraseological semantics modeling is outlined.

Abstract:
The paper presents the prospects and potential of a new pragmatic approach to natural language—the relating pragmatics. The relating pragmatics grows out of relating semantics developed for relating logic. I propose various ways to build relating pragmatics and illustrate the general ideas with two areas of application: the interpretation and projection of presuppositions and the interpretation and projection of scalar implicatures. I chose the issue of the semantic and pragmatic understanding of conjunction as the main background for the discussion.

Abstract:
From the perspective of the Internet, this article focuses on semantic selection in translation, and delves into the semantic selection of translation in Morris's modern semiotic theory. After exploring the relevant theoretical concepts by dimensions, it is found that the semantics of translation in Morris' modern semiotic theory can be divided into three types: denotational semantics, pragmatic semantics and intra-verbal semantics. Finally, the choice of the three types of semantics: denotational semantics, pragmatic semantics and intra-verbal semantics is explored in depth to provide guidance for related theoretical research.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to peculiarities and differences of two linguistic fields semantics and pragmatics. The objective of the work is to state the extent of participation of semantic and pragmatic parameters in the process of sense formation. The relevance of the study is beyond doubt, since the pragmasemantic analysis of discourse functional space helps to identify the potential of linguistic means in the process of forming meanings and their transformation into integral sense under the influence of contextual factors, and to determine optimal ways of expressing communicative intention of the author of the discourse and of providing adequate understanding of the sense by the referent. The author also describes main features, differences and similarities of the concepts text and discourse. The specificity of semantic and pragmatic meanings, their correlation and the degree of participation in formation of discourse functional space are analyzed. On the basis of this, the algorithm for pragmasemantic sense formation is deduced. The author emphasizes that the initial meaning is formed by a semantic meaning, in the process of speech actualizing it is supplemented with a pragmatic meaning, which is further transformed into a pragmatic and semantic and communicative-pragmatic sense. This process is illustrated by fragments from works of fiction by contemporary English-speaking authors. The research uses semantic and pragmatic analysis and discourse analysis as the principal methods. The author describes their features, and proves the viability of their application to the object of the research. The author comes to the conclusion that the pragmasemantic analysis of English discourse makes it possible to understand the mechanisms of formation of meanings and sense of a speech work. The contribution of both semantics and pragmatics to the overall communicative interaction is undeniable, since any communication is necessarily analyzed taking into account semantic and pragmatic aspects.

Full text
Abstract:
This work presents an analysis of punctuation use in computer-mediated communication (CMC); in particular, the present study aims to describe the pragmatic functions of nonstandard punctuation on Twitter, providing a corpus-driven overview of the distribution and frequency of nonstandard punctuation use, and an analysis of sampled tweets at the individual tweet level to estimate noise levels in the overall corpus. A survey was also conducted which aimed to identify user understanding of the affective content of nonstandard punctuation strings and to identify any possible effects of character repetition. Survey results indicate that linguistic content was the strongest indicator of affective understanding, type of punctuation (i.e., ?, !, and combinations thereof) was a weaker indicator of some affective content, and repetition was not found to be significant. The study argues that certain string types, possibly defined by punctuation type and not count, have large indexical fields of pragmatic meaning available to them, which are bounded by context. In light of these observations, the study also proposes distinctions/categories of punctuation strings and their associated pragmatic meanings.

Abstract:
Communication refers to the conveyance of intended messages so that the listeners' attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors are changed. Communication through a language system may be thought of as the integration of the three components of content (semantics), form (syntax), and use (language in context or pragmatics). The corning together of content, form, and use in signs, words, phrases, and discourse is the essence of language development. The synergism of content/form/use makes up language competence, or knowledge. When children speak and understand a message, they have a plan that is knowledge of language and they use that plan for the behavior involved in speaking or understanding messages, (Bates, 1976; Bloom and Lahey, 1978).

Abstract:
In everyday conversation, we frequently express relationships between two entities by using attributive possessive NPs. Structurally, these consist of a possessor referent, a possessum nominal and a possessive marker which explicates said relationship. For example, if I want to enquire about a house owned by your friend Mary which you are currently decorating, I might feasibly say "How are you getting on with Mary’s house?". My utterance of the pre-nominal possessive NP Mary’s house allows you to represent a specific referent, ensuring that we mentally converge on the same house and are able to talk about it. This study investigates English pre-nominal possessive NPs from a pragmatic point of view. It does so with the aim of providing a cognitively plausible description of their interpretationwhich simultaneously serves to understand how they function as referring expressions in communication. In particular, I discuss some of the intricacies they pose to interlocutors when itcomes to their referential interpretation. One of these concerns the fact that pre-nominal possessives are semantically compatible with numerous different interpretations, yet reference aparticular possessive relation in concrete communicative situations. Thus, given that the Englishlanguage, quite in contrast to the majority of the world’s languages, does not render thepossessive relation that holds between two entities morphosyntactically explicit, the interpretation of pre-nominal possessive NPs falls entirely within the remit of a pragmatic theory. This should explain how Mary’s house, which is compatible with interpretations such asthe house that Mary is letting, the house that Mary wishes to buy, as well as various others,comes to denote the house that Mary owns in a communicative situation like the above. Fullyinterpreting this NP, as Peters & Westerståhl (2013) suggest, involves knowing what possibleinterpretations it gives rise to, selecting the most salient one to the detriment of any others, and, finally, representing a determinate referent denoted by the NP as a whole. While the first aspect has received much attention (e.g. Barker, 1995; Vikner & Jensen, 2002), the other two have been considered by only few researchers. This study represents the first holistic account of possessive interpretations which combinesall three questions to explain the various facets of their pragmatics. On the theoretical level, itsuggests that the currently dominant stance (advocated by Vikner & Jensen, 2002), accordingto which it is the lexical semantic content of the possessum nominal which largely exhausts theinterpretation process, is in need of rethinking. Contrary to existing insights, I attribute a greaterrole to context and pragmatic reasoning both at the level of possible and at the level of salientinterpretations. On the methodological level, the study is multimethodological in its approach,complementing theoretical argument by means of a psycholinguistic production study and alarge-scale corpus study. In this respect, the present study paves the way for a description of pragmatic aspects of theEnglish grammar which have hitherto been explained in terms of more descriptive possessivetaxonomies, including ones delineating alienable vs. inalienable (e.g. Nikolaeva & Spencer,2013), prototypical vs. non-prototypical (e.g. Langacker, 1995; Rosenbach, 2002) and lexicalvs. pragmatic interpretations (Vikner & Jensen, 2002). Ultimately, I suggest that construing referential interpretation as an addressee-dependent search for relevance (e.g. Sperber & Wilson, 1986/1995) largely obviates the need for taxonomies of this kind at the descriptive level.

Abstract:
This thesis sets out to do mainly two things. On the one hand, I wish to provide an overview of scholarship on natural metalanguage. On the other, I want to tackle some of the most interesting problems that emerge from the recent literature on the subject. As far as my first goal is concerned, I discuss the origin of the term and the notion of 'metalanguage' in logic (Ch 1); I review and criticise the various theories of mention or quotation (Ch 2, 4, 5) because these are the main theoretical upshot, in the area of the study of natural languages, of the logicians' discussions of metalanguage. As for the second goal, I discuss the problems linked to the reference of quotational sequences (Ch 4); I devise a typology of metalinguistic utterances (Ch 6), based on a conception of semantics and pragmatics that is set out in Ch 3; I examine where a natural metalanguage "fits" with respect to the rest of the language and review a number of concerns regarding, notably, the infiniteness of the lexicon (Ch 7); I explore some of the issues raised by complex cases of alleged simultaneous use and mention (Ch 8).

Abstract:
The word samfundssind, roughly “community spirit” came to be a keyword of the moment in the Danish discourses of the global coronavirus pandemic. In an era of acute dangers to humanity, entire linguacultures underwent massive pragmatic and semantic change, and in this chapter, multiple facets of samfundssind will be analysed, including its metapragmatic and rhetorical profile, its tonality and keying, its cultural construction grammar, and the reactive societal and axiological semantics that came to be associated with the word. The paper exemplifies the cultural pragmatics of danger from the perspective of a local keyword which after its coinage in political discourse came to move an entire population into a culturally specific moral construal of the pandemic, and which at the same time afforded a pragmatic framework for collective affect, action, and responsibility.

Abstract:
AbstractGradualizing System F has been widely discussed. A big challenge is to preserve relational parametricity and/or the gradual guarantee. Most past work has focused on the preservation of parametricity, but often without the gradual guarantee. A few recent works satisfy both properties by giving up System F syntax, or with some restrictions and the introduction of sophisticated mechanisms in the dynamic semantics.While parametricity is important for polymorphic languages, most mainstream languages typically do not satisfy it, for a variety of different reasons. In this paper, we explore the design space of polymorphic languages that satisfy the gradual guarantee, but do not preserve parametricity. When parametricity is not a goal, the design of polymorphic gradual languages can be considerably simplified. Moreover, it becomes easy to add features that are of practical importance, such as mutable references. We present a new gradually typed polymorphic calculus, called $$\lambda ^{G}_{gpr}$$ λ gpr G , with mutable references and with an easy proof of the gradual guarantee. In addition, compared to other gradual polymorphism work, $$\lambda ^{G}_{gpr}$$ λ gpr G is defined using a Type-Directed Operational Semantics (TDOS), which allows the dynamic semantics to be defined directly instead of elaborating to a target cast language. $$\lambda ^{G}_{gpr}$$ λ gpr G and all the proofs in this paper are formalized in Coq.

Abstract:
The research objective for the present article is to explore the landscape of theories related to the semantic vericonditional aspect, which is a basic feature of the utterance. Collecting the theoretical kit in order to aggregate the relevant conceptual framework will allow us to operationalize and apply them in the architecture of the theoretical interpretative process as well as in the analysis of the subject of interest: parliamentary discourse - a subspecies of political discourse. The given investigation proceeds from the establishment of a conceptual framework, a delimitation of the distinctions between semantics and pragmatics, the complex phrase being the fundamental unit of syntax and formal semantics with vericonditional compositional content that needs to be saturated with meaning - the default interpretation. The utterance, the unit of discourse mobilizes all contextual information, resolves the ambiguities of lexical semantics - disambiguates the elements with the scalar palette of meaning - generalized common ground implicature but also arising from the context taking into account the principle of consistency and relevance. The level of post-pragmatic, particularized implicature are subjects of preferred interpretation and do not depend on the content of the concrete utterance in context. In the case study examples, they concern loyalty to the homeland, ideology and party affiliation, dismantling right-wing extremist-radicalist tendencies, hack-ing the anti-Semitic concept and using the term as a weapon for different situations and contexts. The article is informed by several evolved key works on pragmatist theories including formal semantic minimalism theory, semantic underdetermination theory, cognitivist relevance theory, scalarity of meaning theory, and factorization theory. All of these theories bring their contribution to the theoretical understanding and pragmatic analysis of sophisticated public discourse.

Abstract:
The article clarifies the features of interactive relationships, which are modeled by the addresser of modern media text for maximum impact on the addressee. The author controls the perception of the text, focusing on linguistic competence and an objective picture of the reader’s world. A pragmatic approach to journalistic text makes it possible to identify explicit and implicit forms of dialogue: modeling feedback and interactive settings that can turn a hypothetical reader into a real one, adapting to the addressee’s language thesaurus. Discursive openness to the exchange of views with the addressee leads to the fact that the entire media text becomes a guarantee of commonality of addresser-addressee interpretations. The difference between the addresser and the addressee is minimized, their connection is strengthened through the combination of linguistic consciousness, which, in turn, forms a special structure and semantics of the journalistic text, in which the emphasis is not on I but on the Other. The addressee in some implicit or explicit form is always in all segments of the media text, and the author establishes a trusting relationship with the reader through the phatic linguistic means that the addressee relates to himself. Approaching the addressee is a sign of modern journalistic texts, which show a tendency to dialogue and democratization of forms of mass communication, and their characteristic feature is the actualization in the center of attention of the addressee, latent (mediated by written text) dialogue with which is modeled as real. The addressee in the process of establishing contact with the author of the media text also becomes the part of broad cognitive space. This opportunity is realized if the journalist has different types of competence – communicative and procedural, that is, is able to compare their own thesaurus, their own knowledge with the thesaurus and the picture of the world of his reader. Modern journalism is characterized by the search for contact with the addressee and new effective models of influence and intimacy of relationships that contribute to the creation of a single cognitive space for both, which, in turn, will allow the recipient to move from knowledge to understanding.

Abstract:
For the last three decades, the issue of translator’s gender and its representation in the target text has been actively researched in translation studies. Over the period there appeared numerous, sometimes contradicting views on markers of feminine / masculine / other types of speech, on whether the translator’s gender is revealed in the target text, and on the quality of translation depending on the translator’s gender. The present paper focuses on the translator’s gender markers in the target text. Taking into account the results of other linguists and my own observations, I consider the researched units being either definite or ambiguous markers of the translator’s gender. I want to bring to light gender differences in two Ukrainian translations (female translation by Natalia Tysovska and male translation by Viacheslav Brodovyi) of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. The semantic, pragmatic and stylistic shifts in the target text conditioned by the translator’s gender and gender stereotypes blur the sense of the source text. Thus, such shifts should be regarded as unwanted changes and better be avoided.
