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.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE
is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general
linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific
languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have
developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold
forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic"
linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of
the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances
in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints,
while in the more recent branches of communication science the
handbooks will give researchers both an overview and orientation.
To attain these objectives, the series aims for a standard
comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines,
and to this end strives for comprehensiveness, theoretical
explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and
up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the
individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed
to this aim. The language of publication is English. The main aim
of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of
the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication
science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no
inflexible pre-set limits will is imposed on the scope of each
volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of
further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with
the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be
prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set
time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume is
a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the
handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is
determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editors
of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual
volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he
or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors
and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the
others, being governed only by general formal principles. The
series editors only intervene where questions of delineation
between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this
(modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the
series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of
knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered
by each volume. To discuss your handbook idea or submit a proposal,
please contact Birgit Sievert.
