Abstract:

The ideas that mark modern-day pragmatics are old, but did not start to get 
more systematically developed until the 1960s and 1970s. Still, the very 
recognition of pragmatics as a self-standing academic discipline is a product 
of the 1980s, not least made possible by the establishment of the 
International Pragmatics Association. One scholar in particular has devoted 
his life both to IPrA and to the discipline.

This volume pays homage to Jef Verschueren on the occasion of his 60th 
birthday. It celebrates him for his long-standing dedication as Secretary 
General of IPrA and for his scholarly contributions to the field. We owe to Jef 
Verschueren the insight that the processes through which language users (do 
or do not) achieve understanding among each other in communication can 
only be fully comprehended if approached from a pragmatic perspective, i.e. 
if understanding is pragmaticized. 

The chapters in this book are written by scholars who, like Jef Verschueren, 
have played a key role in the genesis and development of the field, and who 
still actively contribute to its advancement today. Each author looks back, 
evaluates the present, and takes on new challenges.
