> Postcolonial pragmatics focuses on the myriad locutionary forms, 
> illocutionary functions, and perlocutionary effects of language 
> communication and communication systems in postcolonial contexts, dealing 
> primarily with natural discourse and issues of cultural displacement, 
> migration, hybridity, and diaspora, but also focusing on the role of 
> public and government media in shaping perceptions of postcolonial 
> history, politics, and regional, ethnic, and social identities. Language 
> use and abuse play important roles in many areas of postcolonial life. 
> Language can be a powerful mediator of understanding, empowerment, and 
> solidarity, or a source of repression, disempowerment, and discrimination. 
> Choices of what and how (and in what languages) things are expressed thus 
> stand at the center of postcolonial pragmatic interest. Possible areas of 
> study include (but are not limited to) everyday social discourse, 
> political and institutional discourse, print media discourse, and all 
> forms of electronically mediated communication.
