Reviews

Some essays may appeal to scholars across discipline; among these are Isidora Stojanovic's Derogatory Terms in Free Indirect Discourse (chapter 14), which discusses the complicity effect of slurs and mixed-quotation and two-context approaches for understanding this phenomenon in specifically literary texts. But most essays are principally interested in exploring theoretical paradigms of fictional discourse through the idiom and methodologies of linguistics and philosophy of language. This collection will find its readers among advanced scholars in those fields. * H. L. Pennington, CHOICE *


Author Information

Emar Maier is an assistant professor at the University of Groningen, affiliated with both the Philosophy and Linguistics Departments. After receiving his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Nijmegen in 2006, he led an ERC Starting Grant project (2011-2016) on quotation. He is currently leading an NWO VIDI project, investigating the semantics of imagination and fiction, combining topics and insights from philosophy (e.g. mental files, imaginative resistance) and linguistics (e.g. dynamic semantics). His research interests include fiction and imagination; pictorial semantics and 'superlinguistics'; attitude ascription and quotation; and reference and indexicality Andreas Stokke is a docent and senior lecturer in Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, Uppsala University, and a Pro Futura Scientia Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study. He has previously held positions at New York University and the University of Oxford. His research is mainly in the fields of philosophy of language and epistemology, but he has also worked on ethics and the philosophy of action. He has published extensively on topics including lying and insincerity, protagonist projection, and dynamic semantics, and he is the author of the OUP volumes Lying and Insincerity (2018) and Lying: Language, Knowledge, Ethics, and Politics (co-edited with Eliot Michaelson; 2018).
