Introducing Pragmatics in Use is a lively and accessible
introduction to pragmatics which both covers theory and applies it
to real spoken and written data. This textbook systematically draws
on a number of different language corpora and the corresponding
software applications. Its primary focus is the application of a
corpus methodology in order to examine core component areas such as
deixis, politeness, speech acts, language variation and register.
The main goal of the book is to contextualise pragmatics in the
study of language through the analysis of different language
contexts provided by spoken and written corpora. Substantially
revised and updated, this second edition covers a wider range of
topics, corpora and software packages. It consistently demonstrates
the benefits of innovative analytical synergies and extends this to
how corpus pragmatics can be further blended with, for example,
conversation analysis or variational pragmatics. The second edition
also offers a new chapter specifically dedicated to corpus
pragmatics which proposes a framework for both form-to-function and
function-to-form approaches. The book also addresses the -
sometimes thorny - area of the integration of the teaching of
pragmatics into the language classroom. All chapters in the second
edition include a number of cohesive, step-by-step tasks that can
be done in small groups in class or can be used as self-study
resources. A wide range of illustrative language samples drawn from
a number of English language corpora, coupled with instructive
tasks and annotated further reading sections, make this an ideal
textbook for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students of
pragmatics, discourse analysis and corpus linguistics within
applied languages / linguistics or TESOL programmes.
