Robyn Carston

Reader in Linguistics, UCL (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/robyn/home.htm)

Research Interests

Primary research interest: theoretical pragmatics and its implications for the semantics of natural language. Professor Carston works within the cognitive framework provided by Relevance Theory, but is interested in all approaches to inferential pragmatics, including those of a more philosophical orientation. In recent years the specific topics she has looked at include the explicit/implicit distinction, pragmatic enrichment and loose uses (including metaphor), conjunction, scalar terms, and metalinguistic negation.
