title = "The Oxford Handbook of Experimental Semantics and Pragmatics",
abstract = "This handbook is the first to explore the growing field of experimental semantics and pragmatics. In the past twenty years, experimental data has become a major source of evidence for building theories of language meaning and use, encompassing a wide range of topics and methods. Following an introduction from the editors, the chapters in this volume offer an up-to-date account of research in the field spanning thirty-one different topics, including scalar implicatures, presuppositions, counterfactuals, quantification, metaphor, prosody, and politeness, as well as exploring how and why a particular experimental method is suitable for addressing a given theoretical debate. The volume{\textquoteright}s forward-looking approach also seeks to actively identify questions and methods that could be fruitfully combined in future experimental research.",
