Pragmatics Summary

Pragmatics: An Introduction by Jacob L. Mey

This is a succinct introduction to the rapidly developing field of pragmatics -- the study of language from the point of view of its users, of the choices they make, the constraints they encounter in using language in social interaction, and the effects their use of language has on other participants in communication.

Pragmatics Reviews

"Strongly recommended reading for those with an interest in pragmatics, and certainly for those requiring an up--to--date and user--friendly pragmatics textbook." Australian Journal of Linguistics (of the First Edition) "This is a fine and wide--ranging book." Journal of Sociolinguistics "This second edition of Meya s book provides a valuable introduction to pragmatics in general and to some of Meya s theoretical ideas in particular. As such it is an appropriate text for both the undergraduate student of pragmatics and the more advanced reader in the field." Louise Cummings, Nottingham Trent University
