Abstract
Claudia Bianchi's book, Pragmatica cognitiva. I meccanismi della comunicazione (2009), provides the reader with a reasoned map of the main stances held by the scholars investigating our beliefs and expectations in the attribution of meaning to others' words. By analysing the possibilities and the limits of the theories in the field, the author wonders whether and to which extent talking about "language as a code" or about "literal meaning" makes sense. To answer this question, the book brings in front of the tribunal of the philosophical analysis - but also in front of the tribunal of the empirical research - the main contemporary trends in philosophy of language.
