Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Doing Pragmatics is a popular reader-friendly introduction to pragmatics. Embracing the comprehensive and engaging style which characterized the previous editions, this fifth edition has been fully revised. Doing Pragmatics extends beyond theory to promote an applied understanding of empirical data and provides students with the opportunity to 'do' pragmatics themselves. A distinctive feature of this textbook is that virtually all the examples are taken from real-world uses of language which reflect the emergent nature of communicative interaction. Consolidating the strengths of the original version, the text reinforces its unique combination of theory and practice exercises and up-to-date real data and examples. New for the fifth edition are brief in-chapter sections on research showing a wide range of approaches to collecting, analysing, and reporting data as well as an all-new chapter on second language pragmatics that proposes an alternative approach to the role of pragmatics in language teaching and learning. This book provides the ideal foundation for all those studying pragmatics within English language, linguistics, and ELT/ TESOL.
