Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive
textbooks, providing students and researchers with the support they
need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and
applied linguistics. Each book in the series guides readers through
three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major
themes within the discipline. Section A: Introduction, establishes
the key terms and concepts and extends readers' techniques of
analysis through practical application. Section B: Extension,
brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and
discusses their contribution to the field. Section C: Exploration,
builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting
thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables
readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and
encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout
the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and
deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by
tasks and follow-up questions. Pragmatics: provides a broad view of
pragmatics from a range of perspectives, gathering readings from
key names in the discipline, including Geoffrey Leech, Michael
McCarthy, Thomas Kohnen, Joan Manes and Nessa Wolfson covers a wide
variety of topics, including speech acts, pragmatic markers,
implicature, research methods in pragmatics, facework and
politeness, and prosody examines the social and cultural contexts
in which pragmatics occurs, such as in cross-cultural pragmatics
(silence, indirectness, forms of address, cultural scripts) and
pragmatics and power (the courtroom, police interaction, political
interviews and doctor-patient communication) uses a wide range of
corpora to provide both illustrative examples and exploratory tasks
is supported by a companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/archer
featuring extra activities and additional data for analysis,
guidance on undertaking corpus analysis and research, including how
to create your own corpus with CMC, and suggestions for further
reading. Written by experienced teachers and researchers in the
field, Pragmatics provides an essential resource for students and
researchers of applied linguistics.
