Abstract:

"Pragmatics and Literature" is an important collection of new work by leading
practitioners working at the interface between pragmatic theory and literary
analysis. The individual studies collected here draw on a variety of
theoretical approaches and are concerned with a range of literary genres. All
have a shared focus on applying ideas from specific pragmatic frameworks to
understanding the production, interpretation and evaluation of literary texts.
A full-length introductory chapter highlights distinctions and contrasts
between pragmatic theories, but also brings out complementarities, shared aims
and assumptions, and ways in which different pragmatic theories can make
different contributions to our understanding of literary texts. The book as a
whole encourages a sense of coherence for the field and presents insights from
various approaches for systematic comparison. Building on previous work by the
editors, the contributors and others, it makes a significant contribution to
the growing field of pragmatic literary stylistics.
