Description
This volume is better than a mere review of pragmatic studies in recent years. It fulfils the editors’ aim of ‘‘achieving cross-disciplinary intelligibility’’ (p. xi) built around a clear and concise presentation of the research operating from different perspectives. It is a good reference book for those who are interested in pragmatics. It offers its readers an opportunity to reexamine their understanding of common notions from an interdisciplinary perspective. At the same time, the volume suggests interesting research paths, allowing its readers to find their own points of departure for further studies.
