Description

Pragmatic Development explores how language use becomes effective and communicative. This integrated view covers the acquisition of various pragmatic subsystems, including expressing intentions, participating in conversation, and producing extended discourse. The authors combine their expertise with an overview of the field, explaining how linguistic pragmatics relates to other aspects of language development, social development, and cultural membership. The result is a valuable resource for advanced courses in language acquisition and supplementary reading for introductory courses. By presenting the three components of the pragmatic system as interconnected, Ninio and Snow provide a clear understanding of how they fit together. This book offers insight into the complexities of language use and its role in social interaction.
