Doing Pragmatics

Doing Pragmatics achieved success through its unparalleled capacity to render pragmatics truly accessible to students. Grundy consolidates the strengths of the original version, reinforcing its unique combination of theory and practice with new theory, exercises and up-to-date, real data and examples. New chapters include pragmatic inference and language evolution, and intercultural pragmatics. Doing Pragmatics is designed for pragmatics courses both at an introductory and a more advanced level. It extends beyond theory to promote an applied understanding of empirical data and to provide the ideal foundation for all those studying linguistics and ELT.
