Description

Introducing Pragmatics in Use provides a lively and accessible introduction to pragmatics, combining theoretical foundations with practical applications using real language data. This textbook applies corpus methodology to examine key areas such as deixis, politeness, speech acts, language variation, and register. The second edition has been substantially revised and updated to cover a wider range of topics, corpora, and software packages. It demonstrates the benefits of innovative analytical synergies and extends these approaches to blend with conversation analysis or variational pragmatics. The book also addresses the integration of pragmatics into language teaching, providing tasks for students. With its illustrative language samples, instructive tasks, and annotated further reading sections, this textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students of pragmatics, discourse analysis, and corpus linguistics in applied languages/linguistics or TESOL programmes.
