and methodological challenges, and critically presents a wide range
of studies in various domains of experimental linguistics -
Provides a unified perspective on the data, methods and findings
stemming from all experimental research in linguistics - Covers
many different subfields of linguistics, including argumentation
theory, discourse studies and typology - Provides an introduction
to classical as well as new methods to conduct experiments such as
eye-tracking and brain imaging - Features a range of
internationally renowned academics - Shows how experimental
research can be used to study populations with various linguistic

speakers
Acquiring Pragmatics offers a comprehensive synthesis of
state-of-the-art research on the acquisition of pragmatics. It
introduces the current topics of research in theoretical pragmatics
and explores the issues they raise for language acquisition
research and the new experimental designs which have been developed
to address them. While each chapter covers each topic in depth, it
also places a strong emphasis on the underlying methodological
aspects of each issue, which will help the reader to develop their
own experimental designs. Key topics covered include: The
interfaces between pragmatics and language acquisition The social
aspects of pragmatic competence The cognitive aspects of pragmatic
competence The acquisition of pragmatics in autistic spectrum
disorders and second language acquisition Acquiring Pragmatics is
key reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students
studying pragmatics and language acquisition.

An accessible and thorough introduction to implicatures, a key
topic in all frameworks of pragmatics. Starting with a definition
of the various types of implicatures in Gricean, neo-Gricean and
post-Gricean pragmatics, the book covers many important questions
for current pragmatic theories, namely: the distinction between
explicit and implicit forms of pragmatic enrichment, the criteria
for drawing a line between semantic and pragmatic meaning, the
relations between the structure of language (syntax) and its use
(pragmatics), the social and cognitive factors underlying the use
of implicatures by native speakers, and the factors influencing
their acquisition for children and second language learners.
Written in non-technical language, Implicatures will appeal to
students and teachers in linguistics, applied linguistics,
psychology and sociology, who are interested in how language is
used for communication, and how children and learners develop
pragmatic skills.

Over the past decades, the use of quantitative methods has become
almost generalized in all domains of linguistics. However, using
these methods requires a thorough understanding of the principles
underlying them. Introduction to quantitative methods in
linguistics aims at providing students with an up-to-date and
accessible guide to both corpus linguistics and experimental
linguistics. The objectives are to help students developing
critical thinking about the way these methods are used in the
literature and helping them to devise their own research projects
using quantitative data analysis.
