Beyond Meaning
Edited by Elly Ifantidou, Louis de Saussure and Tim Wharton
Despite the fact that they are often crucial to our understanding, the vague, ineffable elements of language use and communication have received much less attention from linguists than the more concrete, effable ones. This has left a range of important questions unanswered. How might we account for… read more[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 324] 2021. vi, 200 pp.

Manipulation and Ideologies in the Twentieth Century: Discourse, language, mind
Edited by Louis de Saussure and Peter J. Schulz

2023 Recalling presupposed information: Evidence from the online processing of presuppositions in political tweets Pragmatics & Cognition 30:1, pp. 92–119 | Article
This article addresses, experimentally, the question of how presuppositions are cognitively processed and retrieved in discourse. In the proposed research, we have administered tweets produced by Italian politicians to native speakers so as to assess how easily they could retrieve the… read more
2021 An experiential view on what makes literature relevant Beyond Meaning, Ifantidou, Elly, Louis de Saussure and Tim Wharton (eds.), pp. 99–118 | Chapter

This intuition is reflected in the notion that literature is art, whereas ordinary conversation is not, and that reading literature is a particular sort of… read more
2021 Pragmatic resolutions of temporal and aspectual mismatches New Developments in Relevance Theory, Padilla Cruz, Manuel and Agnieszka Piskorska (eds.), pp. 228–251 | Article
This paper proposes a pragmatic solution to utterances where the various indicators of time and aspect (tenses, lexical-conceptual features of Aktionsart, adverb phrases and contextual cues) seem to have divergent temporal reference and aspectual properties. This type of cases is usually treated… read more

2008 Explicitness, implicitness and commitment attribution: A cognitive pragmatic approach Commitment, De Brabanter, Philippe and Patrick Dendale (eds.), pp. 197–219 | Article
This paper proposes a cognitive-pragmatic alternative to the traditional, speech-acttheoretic, account of the notion of commitment. The perspective adopted here questions the relevance of addressing actual commitment as a speaker category and shifts the focus of the discussion from properties of… read more
2007 Procedural pragmatics and the study of discourse Pragmatic Interfaces, Saussure, Louis de and Peter J. Schulz (eds.), pp. 139–159 | Article
The term discourse is generally used either as a technical equivalent for ‘verbal communication’ or as referring to a particular scientific notion, where discourses are spans of texts or of utterances obeying specific principles of organisation. The aim of this paper is to suggest that an account… read more
