The Edinburgh Studies in Pragmatics series includes thematically organised monographs and edited collections dedicated to key areas of pragmatics - that is, the study of language use and the contexts in which it is used. The series covers the core topics of pragmatics but also ventures beyond this to examine language use across social, institutional, interpersonal and political contexts and to cover areas such as sociopragmatics, corpus pragmatics and pragmalinguistics and the interface between pragmatics and other disciplines. By publishing innovative and leading work, the series aims to capture the diversity of pragmatics as a field of research, and individual volumes each contribute to key critical debates in pragmatics.
