Contextualismo y Semanticismo: Debate abierto en la filosofía del lenguaje contemporáneaKeywords: context, semantics, pragmatics. Abstract: grice is the father of two contemporary positions in the philosophy of language: contextualism (bach, perry, recanati) and semanticism (stanley, szabó, and cappelen and lepore). they dispute about what is strictly and literally said by a particular utterance. contextualists, faithful to a gricean principle dubbed by recanati as the ?principle of availability?, consider that what is said by an utterance is always affected by contextual factors; semanticists, following the gricean notion of minimal proposition, only allow in what is said ingredients linguistically triggered. in this paper, different kinds of information that can be transmitted by an utterance will be analyzed and they will be linked with different types of context.
