Introducing Pragmatics in Use is a lively and accessible
introduction to pragmatics which both covers theory and applies it
to real spoken and written data. This textbook systematically draws
on a number of different language corpora and the corresponding
software applications. Its primary focus is the application of a
corpus methodology in order to examine core component areas such as
deixis, politeness, speech acts, language variation and register.
The main goal of the book is to contextualise pragmatics in the
study of language through the analysis of different language
contexts provided by spoken and written corpora. Substantially
revised and updated, this second edition covers a wider range of
topics, corpora and software packages. It consistently demonstrates
the benefits of innovative analytical synergies and extends this to
how corpus pragmatics can be further blended with, for example,
conversation analysis or variational pragmatics. The second edition
also offers a new chapter specifically dedicated to corpus
pragmatics which proposes a framework for both form-to-function and
function-to-form approaches. The book also addresses the -
sometimes thorny - area of the integration of the teaching of
pragmatics into the language classroom. All chapters in the second
edition include a number of cohesive, step-by-step tasks that can
be done in small groups in class or can be used as self-study
resources. A wide range of illustrative language samples drawn from
a number of English language corpora, coupled with instructive
tasks and annotated further reading sections, make this an ideal
textbook for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students of
pragmatics, discourse analysis and corpus linguistics within
applied languages / linguistics or TESOL programmes.

Intimate discourse - that between couples, family and close friends
in private, non-professional settings - lies at the heart of our
everyday linguistic experience. It creates and sustains our closest
relationships. Using an innovative blend of the community of
practice model with a corpus linguistic methodology, Brian Clancy
expertly reveals the patterns that characterise the shared
linguistic repertoire of intimates. Corpus methods such as
frequency and concordance are thoroughly introduced, exemplified
and systematically employed in order to operationalise the concept
of the community of practice in relation to intimate discourse. A
half-million-word corpus of intimate data collected in various
settings throughout Ireland provides the data for insights into
patterns such as intimates' use of pronouns, vocatives, taboo
language and pragmatic markers. The intimate linguistic repertoire
that emerges is shown to facilitate the delicate balance between
our instinctive desire to be involved in the lives of those closest
to us while at the same time recognising their need for privacy and
non-imposition. Investigating Intimate Discourse will primarily be
of interest to postgraduate students and researchers working in the
area, and to those working in related areas such as discourse
analysis, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics and pragmatics.
Advanced undergraduates taking modules in those subjects will also
find the book useful.
