Meaning, use and interpretation of language

This collection explores various aspects of linguistics and semantics, focusing on topics such as linguistic variation among Italian migrant children in Germany, the semantics of questions, and cognitive impairments in aphasia. It addresses underdetermination in word formation and the semantics of visual contradictions, while also delving into Stoic theories of arguments and the semantics of the term "wieder." The contrastive study of French and German verbs of change highlights perspectives on patient and causing events. Disorders related to lexical production and comprehension are examined, alongside the foundational role of inferences in semantics. Theories on definiteness and the relationship between adjectives and nouns are presented, as well as insights into the listener's calculations of quantity terms. The collection includes new perspectives on Stoic dialectic and tense in texts, along with model-theoretical approaches to vagueness. Further discussions cover presuppositions, the logical analysis of plurals and mass terms, and hemispheric conceptions of imagery through EEG analysis. Theoretical advancements in semantics are proposed, including generalized conjunction and type ambiguity, as well as the limits of lexical meaning. The interplay between sentence meaning and utterance meaning is thoroughly investigated, culminating in an analysis of cognitive effort during sentence processing and the compositionality of G
