Semantics and Pragmatics (abbreviated S&P) is a peer-reviewed diamond open access academic journal covering research pertaining to meaning in natural language.[2] [3] A highly prestigious journal, it is one of the most important publication venues in formal semantics.[4] [5] It was established by David Beaver and Kai von Fintel in 2007 and has been published by the Linguistic Society of America since 2013. Its current editors-in-chief are Louise McNally and Kjell Johan Sæbø.[2] [3]
The journal's establishment has been viewed as part of a trend towards a tighter integration between formal semantics and formal pragmatics.[6] Work published in the journal includes papers from the ongoing debate regarding whether implicatures are computed within the grammar or via post-compositional Gricean reasoning.[7]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, DOAJ, International Bibliography of Periodical Literature, Linguistic Bibliography, and the Modern Language Association Database.[8]
