OverviewStudies in Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics offers valuable contributions to research in pragmatics that will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students in many sub-disciplines of the field. The volume gathers a wide selection of papers that address traditional and recent issues in pragmatics and adopts a multidisciplinary approach, as most papers are based on various theoretical models and paradigms. An emphasis is placed on the interaction of cognitive processes and socio-cultural beliefs and practices to account for language production and interpretation. From this perspective, the papers offer new and revealing findings that support existing research, novel insights into language production and interpretation and useful directions for future research.

Table of ContentsReviewsAlthough the volume is divided into three thematic sections; intercultural, cognitive and socio-pragmatics, most of the papers use a multidisciplinary approach. However, the editors were right when they decided to have three sections because this will give guidance to the readers about the main focus of each article. The papers describe and discuss research that is theoretically sound, contains empirical evidence and is based on data collected by the authors. I would also like to underline the international character of the volume. Among the authors there are scholars from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, UK, Spain, and Turkey. I am sure that readers will welcome the fine scholarship the volume will present to them. Istvan Kecskes, Professor of Linguistics, Director of ESL MA and PhD Programs This book will be of great interest and importance to scholars working at the interface between intercultural, cognitive and social aspects of pragmatics. It brings together a distinguished group of contributors using a wide variety of pragmatic frameworks, who provide new and valuable insights into the interaction of social, cognitive and cultural factors in linguistic communication and suggest interesting directions for future research.
