Although there is still no general agreement on the exact functions
of linguistic pragmatics and the fields of activity it covers, it
can generally be understood as the relationship of language to its
users and the resultant practical applications of language. Thus it
is one of the main concerns of research in this field to achieve a
better understanding and account of the influence of
extra-linguistic factors on language. In this introduction to the
field, "pragmalinguistics" is seen as a field within the more
general subject of "pragmatics." The book aims to familiarize those
interested in linguistics with the problems and methods of what is
still an "open" field of enquiry and to present its main topic
areas - pragmalinguistics as a general semiotic theory, as speech
act theory, as the linguistics of conversation, and as text
linguistics.
