Up until the mid-1980s most pragmatic analysis had been done on
spoken language use, considerably less on written use, and very
little at all on literary activity. This has now radically changed.
'Pragmatics' could be informally defined as the study of
relationships between language and its users. This volume, first
published in 1991, seeks to reposition literary activity at the
centre of that study. The internationally renowned contributors
draw together two main streams. On the one hand, there are concerns
which are close to the syntax and semantics of mainstream
linguistics, and on the other, there are concerns ranging towards
anthropological linguistics, socio- and psycholinguistics. Literary
Pragmatics represents an antidote to the fragmenting specialization
so characteristic of the humanities in the twentieth century. This
book will be of lasting value to students of linguistics,
literature and society.
