Description
Currently, there is a great number of approaches to the semantics-pragmatics distinction on the market.

At the same time, it covers a wide range of the key current topics in semantics and pragmatics (e.g., the saying/meaning distinction, minimalism vs. contextualism, (generalised) conversational implicatures).
