Workshop on "Explicit
Communication" Invited Speaker: Robyn Carston
Last Update:
29/12/2005 |
Brief Description:
Doctor
(1993) in English Philology by the University of Granada (Spain) with a
dissertation on a communicative theory of metaphor.
Tenured Lecturer of linguistics in the English
Department at the University of Granada.
Assistant teacher at Eton College (1989) and visiting
scholar at Nottingham University (1991).
I systematically work with the philosopher of
language
Esther Romero
(since 1993). We currently share a research project on meaning and
pragmatic processes funded by the Spanish government.
Research Interests
My research has been circumscribed to the field of
pragmatics and its relations with syntax and semantics. The topic of
metaphor and its justification in verbal communication have marked in
one way or another my trajectory, although recently metonymy has taken
an important part of my attention. Related to metonymy, I have been
increasingly interested in the referential use of noun phrases, noun
phrase fragments, ellipsis and informational prominence. As a whole,
however, this study is framed within the domain of what is said with
verbal utterances. The delimitation of this domain with that of
implicatures not only has always been of great significance for me but
it also currently occupies the spare the time allowed by the topics
above.
