Annotation

This study disccues how lexical pragmatics is currently a hot pursuit within neo-Gricean pragmatic theory, neo-Gricean oriented bidirectional optimality-theoretic pragmatics and relevance theory. It then provides a neo-Gricean pragmatic analysis of four key topics in lexical pragmatics: lexical blocking, cloning and narrowing, and asymmetric lexicalization of specific logical operators.
