This encyclopaedia of one of the major fields of language studies is a continuously updated source of state-of-the-art information for anyone interested in language use. The IPrA Handbook now contains nearly 5,000 pages. It provides easy access ? for scholars with widely divergent backgrounds but with convergent interests in the use and functioning of language ? to the different topics, traditions and methods which together make up the field of Pragmatics, broadly conceived as ?the cognitive, social and cultural study of language and communication?.
The Handbook of Pragmatics is a unique reference work for researchers: the main body of the Handbook is produced in loose-leaf format in 3-ring binders and is accompanied by the bound Manual. The loose-leaf Handbook forms the basis of the Handbook proper giving an overview of the subfields, traditions, methodologies and concepts of Pragmatics.
