The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Pragmatics is the first volume to offer a comprehensive overview of advances in Spanish Pragmatics, addressing different types of interaction and the variables, both social and linguistic, that can affect them.

Written by a diverse set of experts in the field, the handbook unifies two major approaches to the study of pragmatics, the Anglo-American and European Continental traditions. Thirty-three chapters cover in detail both pragmatic foundations (e.g. speech act theory, implicature and relevance, deixis) and interfaces with other concepts, including:

* Discourse

* Variation; Culture and interculture

* (Im)politeness; humor

* Learning contexts and teaching

* Technology

This is an ideal reference for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers of Spanish language and linguistics.

Reviews

"Este trabajo de recopilacion puede resultar muy util para profesores y estudiantes universitarios que quieran ponerse al dia de las recientes publicaciones en este campo o deseen estar al tanto de las nuevas metodologias y aquellos aspectos pragmaticos que quedan todavia por explorar en profundidad, como por ejemplo la pragmatica de los hablantes de herencia, las implicaturas convencionales y conversacionales en espanol, la deixis o la interfaz entre pragmatica y prosodia. Pero el volumen no solo ofrece una puesta al dia a los ya iniciados en la pragmatica, sino tambien a aquellos que busquen entender el objeto de estudio de un campo de la linguistica tan heterogeneo y amplio como es la pragmatica."
