Introduction

Experimental research at the pragmatics/semantics interface

Jörg Meibauer | Mainz University

Markus Steinbach | Göttingen University

Focusing on the semantics/pragmatics divide, the contribution of experimental pragmatics to pragmatic theory is discussed from a number of angles, ranging from implicature theory and theories of pragmatic enrichment to pragmatic acquisition, pragmatic impairment, and pragmatic processing. In addition, methodological issues are touched upon, and finally, the single contributions to this volume are introduced.
