Introduction to Pragmatics

“Indisputably the best pragmatics textbook currently on the market. It covers all the areas that any modern treatment of pragmatics should include, replete with end-of-chapter exercises. My students love it!” – Gregory Ward, Northwestern University

"A remarkably clear and well-paced exposition of linguistic pragmatics, covering the classic areas yet also taking a glance at newer developments, and throughout skillfully infused with the current debates.” – Jonathan Culpeper, Lancaster University
