From Words to Discourse
	An area of linguistic research can be considered mature when the validity of theoretical and empirical results is tested cross-linguistically and when predictions from different languages influence and modify the course of theoretical development. The semantics/ pragmatics interface poses a special challenge in this respect because of its interdisciplinary and multi-theoretical nature. -- Bridges the gap between theory and empirical analysis by focussing on several aspects of the semantics and the pragmatics of Spanish from a variety of theoretical points of view -- Covers topics under intense debate, and others representing subtle data patterns not considered so far -- Contributes new findings to theories in the field, such as possible world semantics, relevance theory, mental spaces, type coercion, generalized quantifier theory, dynamic semantics, and others From Words to Discourse
