Abstract:

Pragmatics is the study of human communication: the choices speakers 
make to express their intended meaning and the kinds of inferences that 
hearers draw from an utterance in the context of its use. This Handbook 
surveys pragmatics from different perspectives, presenting the main theories 
in pragmatic research, incorporating seminal research as well as cutting-edge 
solutions. It addresses questions of rational and empirical research methods, 
what counts as an adequate and successful pragmatic theory, and how to go 
about answering problems raised in pragmatic theory. In the fast-developing 
field of pragmatics, this Handbook fills the gap in the market for a one-stop 
resource to the wide scope of today's research and the intricacy of the many 
theoretical debates. It is an authoritative guide for graduate students and 
researchers with its focus on the areas and theories that will mark progress in 
pragmatic research in the future.
