Abstract:

The volume contributes to historical pragmatics an important chapter on what 
has so far not been paid adequate attention to, i.e. historical metapragmatics. 
More particularly, the collected papers apply a meta-communicative approach 
to historical texts by focusing on lexis that either directly or metaphorically 
identifies or characterizes entire forms of communication or single acts and 
act sequences or minor units. Within the context of their use, such lexical 
expressions, in fact, provide a key for disclosing historical forms of 
communication; taken out of context, they build the meta-communicative 
lexicon.

The articles follow three principal distinctions in that they investigate the 
meta-communicative profile of genres, meta-communicative lexical sets and 
meta-communicative ethics and ideologies. They cover a broad spectrum of 
text types that span the entire history of the English language from Anglo-
Saxon chronicles to computer-mediated communication.
