This textbook focuses on pragmatics in its broadest sense, covering the social, cultural and cognitive aspects. The first section of the book sketches a theoretical starting point for the exposition, making use of a limited prior knowledge of some general linguistic concepts. The second section provides the building blocks for an understanding of pragmatics as a potentially coherent field of inquiry, while the third explores methodological issues with reference to specific practical research questions.| SKU | Unavailable |
