Yan Huang's highly successful textbook on pragmatics - the study of
language in use - has been fully revised and updated in this second
edition. It includes a brand new chapter on reference, a major
topic in both linguistics and the philosophy of language. Chapters
have also been updated to include new material on upward and
downward entailment, current debates about conversational
implicature, impoliteness, emotional deixis, contextualism versus
semantic minimalism, and the elimination of binding conditions. The
book draws on data from English and a wide range of the world's
languages, and shows how pragmatics is related to the study of
semantics, syntax, and sociolinguistics and to such fields as the
philosophy of language, linguistic anthropology, and artificial
intelligence. Professor Huang includes exercises and essay topics
at the end of each chapter, and offers guidance and suggested
solutions at the end of the volume. Written by one of the leading
scholars in the field, this new edition will continue to be an
ideal textbook for students of linguistics, and a valuable resource
for scholars and students of language in philosophy, psychology,
anthropology, and computer science.
