RT list: New Palgrave book on Assertion by Jary

Dear RT Listers,

I am pleased to announce that Mark Jary's new book, 'Assertion' is the
latest addition to the Palgrave series in Pragmatics, Language and
Cognition. Details of the volume can be found here:

Here is a review:

‘Jary’s synthesis of linguistic, cognitive scientific and
philosophical insights about assertion, so necessary at this stage of
inquiry, is simply masterful: just the right degree of
comprehensiveness; meticulous and balanced exegesis; and extreme
clarity. There can be no question that this book will now become the
point of departure for future studies of assertion as a unified,
multifaceted cognitive-social phenomenon.’ – Rob Stainton, University
of Western Ontario, Canada

best,

Richard Breheny
