Overview

Looks at the field of linguistic pragmatics from a primarily grammatical angle. This title includes chapters that deal with traditional topics in the grammatical literature, and specifically those which are called pragmatic because they either are not strictly concerned with truth, or receive their value only from an interaction with context.

Reviews

Grammar, Meaning and Pragmatics es una publicacion muy valiosa en el ambito de los estudios pragmaticos, ya que abarca una gran variedad de enfoques y analiza en profundidad toda una serie de temas muy relevantes y centrales de la pragmatica. En nuestra opinion, es una obra de referencia ideal para cualquier persona con una formacion academica, profesional, o incluso un interes personal, en esta disciplina. Sin ninguna duda, despues de examinar esta obra, seran muchos los lectores que, como nosotros, se interesen por los cuatro volumenes precedentes de la series Handbook of Translation Highlights y esperen con ilusion la publicacion de los que cinco que actualmente se encuentran en prensa y que completaran la coleccion. -- Jose Luis Berbeira Gardon, Universidad de Cadiz, Spain, in pragmalinguistica 18 (2010)
