- W2291466475 abstract "Faced with the multiplicity of meanings of natural language expressions, Grice and his followers offer pragmatic accounts in terms of generalized conversational implicature. Words tend to have simple and unitary senses, together with an unstable, context-specifi c pragmatic overlay (namely a set of generalized conversational implicatures). In his paper ‘Overlooking conventions. The trouble with linguistic contextualism’, Michael Devitt suggests that the polysemy-account is a viable semantic alternative to the Gricean implicature-account. However, polysemy has shown itself to be a serious theoretical challenge, and there is nothing close to an agreement as to what polysemy really is and how it should be analysed. In this paper, I argue that making polysemy a matter of semantics (rather than, say, subsuming it under the phenomenon of meaning modulation in contexts of use) blurs the distinction between the semantic and pragmatic. As a result, Devitt’s semantic alternative is dangerously likely to lead, and in fact has led lexical semanticists to ‘Meaning Eliminativism’, the view that ‘there is no such thing as ‘the meaning of a word’ in isolation from particular contexts’ (Cruse 2000)." @default.
