By the same token these fields can begin to address their own questions more productively by examining the insights of pragmatics.

Topics include: *Coverage of pragmatic concepts and theories *Criticisms of Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory, Habermas’s theory of communicative competence and Kasher’s views on the modularity of pragmatics *Pragmatic deficits in a range of child and adult language disorders *A pragmatic analysis of argumentation in topical issues such as AIDS and BSE *Theories of meaning, inferences, pragmatics and AI
