Procedural Meaning

This book contains a collection of edited papers which were presented at the international conference "Procedural Meaning. Problems and Perspectives" in Madrid.The conference brought together the most outstanding specialists in this field, making a worthwhile occasion for collecting its most significant contributions in a volume. Despite the fact that procedural meaning has become an increasingly widespread area of study by scholars from a variety of backgrounds, including researchers of semantics, pragmatics and syntax, there is to date no volume dedicated specifically to this topic,. The interest in the applications of procedural semantics has increased over the years and continues to do so; therefore, the publication of a collection of papers bringing together the variety of viewpoints from which procedural meaning is being applied will fulfil an important role in disseminating and enhancing its study and facilitating future development. The book is intended to be a reference for those interested in or already working on procedural meaning from different points of view and to identify new challenges that will determine the directions for research in future.
