Pragmatics provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of language use and meaning in context. The second edition has been substantially revised and updated and covers major topics in pragmatics, including conversational implicature, presupposition, speech act theory, deixis, reference, and the relationships between pragmatics and cognition, semantics, and syntax. The book examines classical and neo-Gricean theories of implicature, relevance theory, presupposition, speech acts, and different types of deixis, while also exploring newer developments and interdisciplinary interfaces in pragmatic research. Particular attention is given to the interaction between pragmatics and semantics, as well as the relationship between pragmatics and syntax, including anaphora and binding. The second edition also introduces new material on reference, entailment, conversational implicature, impoliteness, emotional deixis, contextualism, semantic minimalism, and binding conditions. Drawing on examples from English and a wide range of other languages, the book provides exercises, essay questions, further readings, a glossary, and suggested solutions, making it a comprehensive textbook for students and researchers in linguistics and related fields.
