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 of Pragmatics 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, i.e. the science of language use. The Handbook of Pragmatics is a unique reference work for researchers, which has been expanded and updated continuously with annual installments since 1995.

This volume highlights cutting-edge research bringing together insights from psychophysiology and (im)politeness studies, showcasing the state of the art and future directions for this interdisciplinary area of study. The book opens with foundational context on the latest methods from psychophysiology, understood as the field exploring the links between the body and the brain, and their efficacy for (im)politeness research, including fMRI and EEG. While psychophysiology work has been explored in experimental pragmatics, Ruytenbeek points to implications from this work and their potential applications for (im)politeness. The volume presents existing studies using psychophysiological techniques, with a focus on emotional reactions triggered by (im)politeness events. Ruytenbeek reflects on the results of these studies and other recent advances in psychophysiological methods in experimental pragmatics to look ahead to the ways in which they might enhance existing understandings of linguistic (im)politeness. This innovative book will appeal to students and scholars interested in (im)politeness, in such fields as pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics.
Né en 1966, Le Langage et l'Homme est une revue aujourd'hui consacrée à la didactique du français. Elle entend promouvoir des innovations et des partenariats, et diffuser des recherches et des outils dans le domaine. Située au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines - sciences de l'éducation, psychologie, sciences du texte et du langage, anthropologie, ethnographie et sociologie -, elle tente de mettre un certain nombre de concepts en rapport avec des pratiques de terrain.
The papers gathered in this volume specifically address the most important issues related to implicit contents and utterance interpretation: inferential mechanisms, figurative language, indirect speech acts, sarcastic expressions, and untruthful implicatures.

Both linguists and philosophers have, for a number of years, been interested in the concept of speech acts, first proposed by J. L. Austin; but each discipline has remained uniformed on the often parallel work of the other. This volume brings together linguistic and philosophical approaches to speech acts, in order to bring out agreements and disagreements. Many of the articles focus on the problem of indirect speech acts, or "conversational implicature".Such indirect speech acts are a major impediment to a coherent, explanatory account of the relation between sound and meaning, since it is not clear whether the use of a sentence to perform and indirect speech act is part of the sentence's l...
