Drawing on a wide range of fictional texts from Shakespeare and
Austen to Game of Thrones and the lyrics of 'We Shall Overcome',
this textbook shows how pragmatic analyses can uncover the
performative elements that create and shape characters for an
audience. By exploring fictional language, the book investigates
different forms of interpersonal communication, such as politeness
and impoliteness, as well as the nature of poetic language and the
language of emotion. With exercises, discussion topics, suggestions
for small-scale research projects and further reading, it shows
just how fascinating a challenge fictional language can pose to
pragmatics, and illustrates the richness of fictional language as a
source of data for pragmatic research.
