Abstract:

This Element outlines current issues in the study of the pragmatics of
fiction. It starts from the premise that fictional texts are complex
and multi-layered communicative acts which deserve attention in
pragmatic research in their own right, and it highlights the need to
understand them as cultural artefacts rich in possibilities to explore
pragmatic effects and pragmatic theorising. The issues covered are (1)
the participation structure of fictional texts, (2) the performance
aspect of fictional texts, (3) the interaction between readers and
viewers and the fictional texts, as well as (4) the pragmatic effects
of drawing on indexical linguistic features for evoking ideologies in
characterisation. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
