This collection of essays on Spanish pragmatics can be understood
in its broadest sense in Iacob L. Mey's words as "the study of the
conditions of human language use in a societal context." The
essays, which can be read independently from one another, revolve
around three key areas within the Anglo-American school of
pragmatics: speech acts, conversation, and politeness as
sociocultural manifestations of communication. The first part of
the book emphasizes the study of politeness in different
Spanish-speaking communities, paying special attention to the
realization of polite speech acts and their cross-cultural and
cross-linguistic implications, as well as the face-work that
interlocutors conduct in casual conversations and other
communicative settings. The second part expands the topic of
politeness strategies to the study of new contexts (such as echo
questions and conversational repairs) and addresses other language
phenomena that can be best explored from a pragmalinguistic
perspective, such as evidentiality, mitigation, contrastive
emphasis, and topicality and discourse salience. The examples (with
the exception of a few literary quotes) proceed from naturally
occurring data or were collected through questionnaires, and
represent a wide range of colloquial "Spanishes," from Peninsular
to Latin American, from monolingual to bilingual, and from native
to heritage to second language learners' varieties. The empirical
nature of Aspects of Spanish Pragmatics will appeal to a wide range
of readers interested in the use of Spanish for real-life
communicative interactions, as well as in the topic of
intercultural communication and the teaching of authentic language
to students of Spanish in the United States.
