Go to My WishlistsThis is a series of brief surveys intended for readers new to the formal study of language. Each book contains four parts: - survey, an up-to-date overview of the area concerned - readings, short readings with study questions - references, a selection of annotated references - glossary, explanations of terms, cross referenced to the Survey This structure is designed to allow different groups of readers to focus on different parts of the book according to their interest and need. Pragmatics introduces pragmatics, the study of how people make sense of each other linguistically. The author explains, and illustrates, basic concepts such as the cooperative principle, deixis, and speech acts, providing a clear, concise foundation for further study.
