Pragmatics and the English Language - Culpeper, Dr Jonathan (Lancaster University, Lancaster) a Haugh, Michael (Univ of Queensland, Sch of Lang a , St Lucia, Australia)

While covering typical pragmatics topics, this book presents a new view on pragmatics: integrative pragmatics. It is comprehensive in its coverage, yet incorporates state-of-the-art research. Examples and case studies throughout connect theory with data, and illuminate how pragmatics phenomena and concepts are realised or tempered in English.
