Abstract
This chapter considers some of the ways in which the chapters in this volume contribute to ongoing debates on semantics and pragmatics and some of the directions they suggest for future research. Many of the contributions can be understood as being about exploring existing connections and developing new ones. Some of the chapters explore and develop understanding of existing connections, some make new connections, and some explore contrasting views. All of the work demonstrates the benefits of bringing theorists from different backgrounds together and developing a fuller conversation.
