"Although there is no shortage of definitions for pragmatics the received wisdom is that 'pragmatics' simply cannot be coherently defined. In this groundbreaking book Mira Ariel challenges the prominent definitions of pragmatics, as well as the widely-held assumption that specific topics - implicatures, deixis, speech acts, politeness - naturally and uniformly belong on the pragmatics turf. She reconstitutes the field, defining grammar as a set of conventional codes, and pragmatics as a set of inferences, rationally derived. The book applies this division of labor between codes and inferences to many classical pragmatic phenomena, and even to phenomena considered 'beyond pragmatics'. Surprisingly, although some of these turn out pragmatic, others actually turn out grammatical. Additional intriguing questions addressed in the book include: why is it sometimes difficult to distinguish grammar from pragmatics? Why is there no grand design behind grammar nor behind pragmatics? Are all extragrammatical phenomena pragmatic?"-- Pragmatics. 7985 Research surveys in linguistics. 65121 Contributor biographical information http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1008/2010014621-b.html Publisher description http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1008/2010014621-d.html Table of contents only http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1008/2010014621-t.html Cover image http://assets.cambridge.org/97805215/17836/cover/9780521517836.jpg 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg ddc BOOK 75181 312458 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 CL 00751519 CL 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 CL 00751520 CL 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 CL 00751521 CL 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 EMF 00751522 EMF 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 EMF 00751523 EMF 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 SZM 00751524 SZM 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2018-09-22 0 0 306.44 AMD 2018-09-22 SZM 00751525 SZM 2018-09-22 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2022-03-15 0 0 306.44 AMD 2022-03-15 SRM 00169115 SRM 2022-03-15 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2022-03-15 0 0 306.44 AMD 2022-03-15 SRM 00169116 SRM 2022-03-15 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2022-03-15 0 0 306.44 AMD 2022-03-15 EZF 00169117 EZF 2022-03-15 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2022-03-15 0 0 306.44 AMD 2022-03-15 EZF 00169118 EZF 2022-03-15 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0
