Description
• Features/Benefits: The only dedicated textbook for the introductory course (students with no prior background) in pragmatics that uses atypical pragmatic behaviour/pragmatic disorders as a basis for understanding this subject. Offers a rich array of pedagogical features, as well as real-life rather than constructed data.
• Demand/Audience: Meets the demand within theoretical and applied linguistics for an innovative, comprehensive core textbook that accounts for real-world pragmatics. Also appropriate for courses on pragmatic disorders, clinical linguistics, and speech language pathology.
• Competition: The only pragmatics textbook that works from real-world examples towards principles and insights, rather than from principles to idealized examples, and the only one to engage thoroughly with non-normative pragmatic behavior and understanding.
