Summary

Pragmatics is an one of the most complex areas of study in linguistics. It is, in short, the study of the facility of native speakers of a language to convey more than is actually stated, through a combination of linguistic, cultural and social inheritances. This book is intended to provide practical insights (as well as brief research-based background) into how to incorporate a pragmatics component into the second/foreign language curriculum and how to evaluate such efforts.
