Abstract:

This volume offers recent developments in pragmatics and adjacent territories
of investigation, including important new concepts such as the pragmatic act
and the pragmeme, and combines developments in neighboring disciplines in an
integrative holistic pragmatic approach. The young science of pragmatics has,
from its inception, differentiated itself from neighboring fields in the
humanities, especially the disciplines dealing with language and those
focusing on the social and anthropological aspects of human behavior, by
focusing on the language user in his or her societal environment.

This collection of papers continues that emphasis on language use, and
pragmatic acts in their context. The editors and contributors share a
perspective that essentially considers language as a system for communication
and wants to look at language from a societal perspective, and accept the view
that acts of interpretation are essentially embedded in culture. In an
interdisciplinary approach, some authors explore connections with social
theory, in particular sociology or socio-linguistics, some offer a political
stance (critical discourse analysis), others explore connections with
philosophy and philosophy of language, and several papers address problems in
theoretical pragmatics.
