The Oxford Handbook of Expressivity

Beschreibung

This handbook offers a detailed and wide-ranging account of expressivity, the essential property that allows natural language to not just describe something in the world, but to directly express or display the speaker's attitudes or emotions. It provides critical surveys of existing research as well as new insights and innovative perspectives.
