SUMMARY:Assertion and linguistics
DESCRIPTION:Mark Jary (University of Roehampton) In this talk\, I will cons
 ider the role of the notion of assertion in theories aimed at explaining t
 he human capacity for linguistic communication. It has been widely assumed
  that such theories need to posit a level of representation that expresses
  assertoric content\, leading to notions such as &lsquo\;explicature&rsquo
 \;. I will suggest that such notions are in fact redundant in the theories
  that posit them\, and that identifying the truth-conditions of an utteran
 ce should not be considered a goal of basic processes of utterance interpr
 etation. Rather\, I will suggest\, the goal of these processes is to ident
 ify the situation that the utterance denotes\, and the issue of truth-cond
 itional content only arises when we take a reflective\, meta-communicative
  stance towards the utterance.
