| Summary: | This book addresses the interconnection between linguistics and pragmatics, proposing new theoretical approaches to linguistic issues relevant to discourse analysis, communication, and rhetoric, such as implicatures, temporal ordering, implicit constituents, presupposition, polysemy, and the strategic use of pronouns. Contributing authors in pragmatics provide fundamental methodological and theoretical insights, while scholars in more applied fields show how the advances in pragmatic theories contribute to the development of linguistic analyses. This text appeals to students and researchers in the field. The combination of perspectives herein provide a unique outline of the current research in pragmatics.
