Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Todor Koev investigates the semantics and pragmatics of a representative sample of parenthetical constructions from three theoretical viewpoints. He argues that these constructions fall into two major classes, pure and impure, and explains parenthetical meaning through a formally precise and predictive dynamic model.
MoreLong description:
This book investigates the semantics and pragmatics of a representative sample of parenthetical constructions. Todor Koev argues that these constructions fall into two major classes: pure and impure. Pure parentheticals comment on some part of the descriptive content of the root sentence but are otherwise relatively independent of it. Impure parentheticals modify components of the illocutionary force and affect the felicity or the truth of the root sentence. The book studies parentheticals from three theoretical viewpoints: illocutionary effects, scopal properties, and discourse status. It establishes and explicates the notion of parenthetical meaning in a formally precise and predictive dynamic-semantic model. As a result, parentheticality is brought to bear on linguistic phenomena such as entailment and presupposition, binding and anaphora, evidentiality and modality, illocutionary force, and polarity.
This book represents a noteworthy scholarly achievement that not only offers a lasting contribution to the field, but also serves as an excellent entry point for junior researchers exploring the semantics and pragmatics of parentheticals.
