This core textbook provides an engaging and accessible introduction
to the field of pragmatics: the study of the relationship between
linguistic meaning and context. Assuming no prior knowledge,
Siobhan Chapman surveys the development of pragmatics from the very
beginning to the present day and engages with recent debates on
topics such as experimental pragmatics and (im)politeness theory.
Readers will develop their knowledge of how pragmatics interacts
with other areas of language, such as semantics, and of how it has
been applied to the study of various aspects of language in use,
including literature, language acquisition and clinical
linguistics. Comprehensive and highly readable, this is an
essential text for undergraduates or postgraduates enrolled on
specialist modules in pragmatics or on more general linguistics
courses. It is also an ideal resource for researchers in
linguistics or related disciplines who are interested in how the
field is developing. Accompanying online resources for this title

resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using

This book presents the first full-length study of the stylistically
experimental and influential novelist George Moore's (1852-1933)
repeated acts of rewriting. Moore extensively and repeatedly
revised and re-issued many of his major works, sometimes years or
even decades after they were initially published. This monograph
provides new insights into how this process shaped and determined
his work, and by extension into the creative significance of
literary rewriting more generally. It also offers the first
sustained application of linguistic pragmatics, the study of
meaning in interaction, to the work of a single author, opening up
questions about how analytical paradigms developed in pragmatics
can explain how rewriting can affect the interactive relationship
between a literary text and its readers. The book will be of
interest to students and researchers in the areas of pragmatics,
stylistics, literary history, English literature and Irish
literature.
Philosophy for Linguists provides students with a clear, concise introduction to the main topics in the philosophy of language. Focusing on what linguists need to know and how philosophy relates to modern linguistics, the book is structured around key branches of linguistics: semantics, pragmatics, and language acquisition. Assuming no prior knowledge of philosophy, Siobhan Chapman traces the history and development of ideas in the philosophy of language and outlines the contributions of specific philosophers. The book is highly accessible and student-oriented and includes: * a general introduction and introductions to each chapter * numerous examples and quotations * comprehensive suggestions for further reading * an extensive glossary of linguistic terms.

Key Thinkers in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language is a
unique and accessible reference guide to the work of figures who
have played an important role in the development of ideas about
language. It includes eighty entries on individual thinkers in the
Western tradition, ranging from antiquity to the present day,
chosen because of their impact on the description or theory of
language. Each entry explains the main ideas of the thinker,
outlining their development and assessing their significance and
influence. Brief biographical details place the subject in his or
her cultural and historical context. No prior knowledge of either
linguistics or philosophy is assumed; each entry concludes with
suggestions for further reading of both primary texts and secondary
sources, encouraging readers to find out more about the particular
key thinker and the impact of his or her ideas. Thinkers included
range from Plato and Aristotle, through Berkeley, Leibniz, Kant,
Russell, Wittgenstein, and Austin, to Sacks, Kristeva, and
Chomsky.Features * The only single-volume reference resource to
bring together linguistics and the philosophy of language * Entries
are extensively cross-referenced, allowing readers to trace
influences, developments and debates both in contemporary thinking
and across time * Accessibly written for use at all levels,
including undergraduate, postgraduate, academic and other general
readers in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of
language.

This book offers introductory entries on 80 ideas that have shaped
the study of language up to the present day. Entries are written by
experts in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of language
to reflect the full range of approaches and modes of thought. Each
entry includes a brief description of the idea, an account of its
development, and its impact on the field of language study. The
book is written in an accessible style with clear descriptions of
technical terms, guides to further reading, and extensive
cross-referencing between entries. A useful additional feature of
this book is that it is cross-referenced throughout with Key
Thinkers in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language (Edinburgh,
2005), revealing significant connections and continuities in the
two related disciplines. Ideas covered range from Sense Data,
Artificial Intelligence, and Logic, through Generative Semantics,
Cognitivism, and Conversation Analysis, to Political Correctness,
Deconstruction, and Corpora. Features: * The only single-volume
reference book to focus specifically on ideas from both linguistics
and the philosophy of language * Accessibly written for use at all
levels, including undergraduate, postgraduate, academic, and other
general readers in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of
language * Extensively cross-referenced both within itself and with
Key Thinkers in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language to
