- Information
Description
Most of the innovative and exciting work done by East Asian pragmaticians on their languages, past and present alike, is written and published in local languages.
As a result, research published in and about a particular East Asian language has been largely unavailable to those who do not speak the language. The contributors seek to present a comprehensive survey of existing outputs of pragmatics research on three major East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese and Korean).
The survey concentrates on a number of core pragmatic topics such as speech acts, deixis, discourse markers, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and face/(im)politeness.
To complement and compare with the picture of research work published in the local languages, the volume also includes a survey of internationally published, English-mediated articles and books studying the regional languages or contrasting them with other languages.
A rivetting discourse on pragmatics research, it will be a valuable read for students and scholars alike.
