This dictionary provides a full and authoritative guide to the
meanings of the terms, concepts, and theories employed in
pragmatics, the study of language in use.
Pragmatics is a central subject in linguistics and philosophy and
an increasingly important topic in fields such as cognitive
science, informatics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and
pathology. Its rapid development has produced new theories,
methods, approaches, and schools of thought. These in turn have
resulted in a vast vocabulary of new terms and in modified meanings
for existing terms. Such terms help advance research and facilitate
discussion, but they can also cause confusion and act as barriers
to understanding and communication. Yan Huang defines and explains
them all, from the most traditional to the most recent. Covering
every branch of research and all theoretical approaches and with
the needs of students and researchers firmly in mind he writes each
entry in the simplest possible terms for the subject in question,
gives references to relevant seminal and recent work, provides
numerous cross-references to related entries, and shows how each
term and concept is applied and used in different contexts.
Written by one of the leading experts in the field, Professor
Huang's dictionary, the first of its kind ever published, will be a
much valued resource for students and researchers in every aspect
of the field.
