Illocutionary conditionals and discourse strategies in aphasia: A corpus-based analysis
This study investigates illocutionary conditionals – conditional constructions that modulate speech acts such as requests, offers, and warnings – in speakers with aphasia. Previous clinical research has mainly focused on the morphosyntactic properties of conditional constructions, largely overlooking illocutionary conditionals and their pragmatic functions. To highlight the importance of this structure in everyday communication and address this r…
Philosophy, Cognition and Pragmatics
When cancellation becomes unreasonable
Cancellability – one of the most important tests for implicatures – has been attacked from different perspectives, and its reliability challenged by several cases and examples in which conversational implicatures seem to be hard or even impossible to cancel. To account for these phenomena, distinct approaches have been advanced aimed at weakening Grice’s cancellability test. However, what do we exactly mean when we claim that an implicature canno…
On the nature of pragmatic constituents: Considerations on the semantics/pragmatics debate
The present article focuses on certain points in the semantics/pragmatics debate. Among these, one of the most interesting is the possibility of reconciling, independent of the context, certain aspects of meaning which have always been the subject of discussion in formal semantics, with the view that meaning is socially and situationally conditioned. Recent new insights concerning the importance of pragmatics for enriching the propositional conte…
Towards an extended notion of Common Ground in aphasiology
This article aims to analyze the evolution of the Common Ground notion in theoretical and sociocognitive fields. Some recent studies from psychology, cognitive sciences, and socio-linguistics have enriched the traditional formulations on CG by analyzing various factors related to the nature of mental processes. It emerged that CG is a dynamic entity where sources of different nature interact in a complex way during the communication process. On t…
