How do we interpret language and expose its meanings? How does
pragmatics describe the English language? Where can we go to
acquire a deeper understanding of pragmatics? Pragmatics and the
English Language is a bold new textbook that presents an innovative
and exciting way of looking at the subject. This new perspective,
called integrative pragmatics, steers a course between what have
historically been considered irreconcilable perspectives. With an
emphasis on empirical data, the book is filled with examples from
cartoons, films and historical sources, as well as face-to-face and
digitally-mediated interactions, all of which are used to help the
reader develop a better understanding of the theory. Pragmatics and
the English Language: - Focuses on both the pragmatic aspects of
English and how pragmatics is shaped by English - Synthesizes
traditional ideas with state-of-the-art pragmatics research - Goes
far beyond the coverage found in other pragmatics textbooks
Shedding light on the English language in highly original ways,
Pragmatics and the English Language is essential reading for
advanced students of the English language and linguistics, along
with anybody else who wishes to develop a more in-depth knowledge
of pragmatics.
