This core textbook provides an engaging and accessible introduction
to the field of pragmatics: the study of the relationship between
linguistic meaning and context. Assuming no prior knowledge,
Siobhan Chapman surveys the development of pragmatics from the very
beginning to the present day and engages with recent debates on
topics such as experimental pragmatics and (im)politeness theory.
Readers will develop their knowledge of how pragmatics interacts
with other areas of language, such as semantics, and of how it has
been applied to the study of various aspects of language in use,
including literature, language acquisition and clinical
linguistics. Comprehensive and highly readable, this is an
essential text for undergraduates or postgraduates enrolled on
specialist modules in pragmatics or on more general linguistics
courses. It is also an ideal resource for researchers in
linguistics or related disciplines who are interested in how the
field is developing. Accompanying online resources for this title

resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using
this textbook and are available at no extra cost.
