Abstract There is no doubt that pragmatic theory and philosophy of language are mutually relevant and intrinsically connected. The main question I address in this paper is how exactly they are interconnected in terms of (i) their respective objectives, (ii) explanans – explanandum relation, (iii) methods of enquiry, and (iv) drawing on associated disciplines. In the introductory part I attempt to bring some order into the diversity of use of such labels as philosophical logic, philosophical semantics, philosophical pragmatics, linguistic philosophy, or philosophy of linguistics, among others. In the following sections I focus on philosophical pragmatics as a branch of philosophy of language (pragmaticsPPL) and the trends and theories it gave rise to, discussing them against the background of methodology of science and in particular paradigms and paradigm shifts as identified in natural science. In the main part of the paper I address the following questions: How is pragmaticsPPL to be delimited? How do pragmatic solutions to questions about meaning fare vis-à-vis syntactic solutions? Is there a pattern emerging? and, relatedly, What are the future prospects for pragmaticsPPL in theories of natural language meaning? I conclude with a discussion of the relation between pragmaticsPPL and functionalism, observing that contextualism has to play a central role in functionalist pragmatics at the expense of minimalism and sententialism.

语用学和哲学：寻找范式

摘要毫无疑问，语用理论和语言哲学是相互关联和内在联系的。我在本文中要解决的主要问题是，它们在（i）各自的目标，（ii）解释-解释关系，（iii）的研究方法和（iv）运用相关学科方面是如何精确地相互关联的。在介绍性部分中，我试图使使用这些标签的多样性（例如哲学逻辑，哲学语义学，哲学语用学，语言哲学或语言哲学）具有一定的秩序。在以下各节中，我将哲学语用学作为语言哲学（pragmaticsPPL）的一个分支，并探讨其引起的趋势和理论，在科学方法论的背景下讨论它们，尤其是自然科学中确定的范式和范式转换。在本文的主要部分中，我解决了以下问题：pragmaticsPPL如何定界？相对于句法解决方案，关于意义票价的问题的务实解决方案如何？是否有新的模式出现？与此相关的是，自然语言意义理论中的语用学PPL的未来前景如何？最后，我讨论了语用学PPL与功能主义之间的关系，并指出语境主义必须在功能主义语用学中扮演中心角色，而以简约主义和句子主义为代价。PragmaticsPPL如何定界？相对于句法解决方案，关于意义票价的问题的务实解决方案如何？是否有新的模式出现？与此相关的是，自然语言意义理论中的语用学PPL的未来前景如何？最后，我讨论了语用学PPL与功能主义之间的关系，并指出语境主义必须在功能主义语用学中扮演中心角色，而以简约主义和句子主义为代价。PragmaticsPPL如何定界？相对于句法解决方案，关于意义票价的问题的务实解决方案如何？是否有新的模式出现？与此相关的是，自然语言意义理论中的语用学PPL的未来前景如何？最后，我讨论了语用学PPL与功能主义之间的关系，并指出语境主义必须在功能主义语用学中扮演中心角色，而以简约主义和句子主义为代价。
