Abstract:  We survey three domains - scalar implicatures, presupposition, and conventional implicatures - in which the division of labor between semantics and pragmatics has given rise to new empirical and formal insights in the last decade. In each case, there is a vibrant contemporary debate concerning the modular decomposition of rich arrays of data.
