Open publication Opening the 9-volume-series Handbooks of
Pragmatics, this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the
foundations of pragmatics. It covers the central theories and
approaches as well as key concepts and topics characteristic of
mainstream pragmatics, i.e. the traditional and most widespread
approach to the ways and means of using language in authentic
social contexts. The in-depth articles provide reliable
orientational overviews useful to researchers, students, and
teachers. They are both state of the art reviews of their topics
and critical evaluations in the light of subsequent developments.
Topics are thus considered within their scholarly context and also
critically evaluated from current perspectives. The five major
sections of the handbook are dedicated to the Conceptual and
Theoretical Foundations (with a historiographic overview of the
establishment and subsequent development of pragmatics), Key Topics
(investigating indexicality, reference and other concepts that were
the first to make their way from grammar into pragmatics and
mainstream notions like speech acts, types of inference), the Place
of Pragmatics in the Description of Discourse (delimiting
pragmatics from grammar, semantics, prosody, literary criticism),
and Methods and Tools.
