Review
`Context and Content will be read with great interest by scholars interested in semantics, pragmatics and philosophy. It is a tremendously interesting, instructive and useful book in that it presents a rigorous, balanced, and well considered theory. Furthermore, it is certain that many of the ideas expounded in this book will have important and promising ramifications.' Alessandro Capone, Linguistics, Vol.36, 2000.
