This Element outlines current issues in the study of the pragmatics
of fiction. It starts from the premise that fictional texts are
complex and multi-layered communicative acts which deserve
attention in pragmatic research in their own right, and it
highlights the need to understand them as cultural artefacts rich
in possibilities to explore pragmatic effects and pragmatic
theorising. The issues covered are (1) the participation structure
of fictional texts, (2) the performance aspect of fictional texts,
(3) the interaction between readers and viewers and the fictional
texts, as well as (4) the pragmatic effects of drawing on indexical
linguistic features for evoking ideologies in characterisation.
