Full CV.
Huvudområden
Pagins område är i första hand språkfilosofi, och inom språkfilosofi har han främst intresserat sig för grundvalarna för semantiska teorier och semantiska begrepp. Under flera år har han arbetat med den s.k. kompositionalitetsprincipen för språklig mening. Han har försökt utveckla två tankar: dels att kompositionella semantiska teorier bidrar till att förklara språklig kommunikation, och dels att just denna förklaringsroll utgör grunden för semantiska begrepp som sanning och referens.
Hans språkfilosofiska intresse har fört honom till gränserna mot andra områden, som medvetandefilosofi (förnimmelsetermer), logik och formell semantik, litteraturvetenskap (perspektivmarkörer) och kognitiv psykologi (bl.a. vad gäller autistiska talare). Han har för övrigt skrivit om regler och regelföljande, vaghet, synonymi, hävdandebegreppet, och om moderna filosofer som Wittgenstein, Quine, Davidson och Dummett.
