Semantics and Pragmatics (abbreviated S&P) is a peer-reviewed diamond open access academic journal covering research pertaining to meaning in natural language.[2][3] A highly prestigious journal, it is one of the most important venues in formal semantics, alongside Natural Language Semantics, Linguistics and Philosophy, and the Journal of Semantics.[4][5][6]
It was established by David Beaver and Kai von Fintel in 2007 and has been published by the Linguistic Society of America since 2013.[2][3] The journal is funded by MIT and UT Austin, eliminating the need for article processing fees faced by many other open access initiatives.[7] Its current editors-in-chief are Louise McNally and Kjell Johan Sæbø.[2][3]
The journal's establishment has been viewed as part of a trend towards a tighter integration between formal semantics and formal pragmatics.[8] Work published in the journal includes papers from the ongoing debate regarding whether implicatures are computed within the grammar or via post-compositional Gricean reasoning.[9]
