Summary
This work introduces an approach to the study of language use that enables the relationship between meaning generation and gender to be explored. It presents a systematic look at pragmatic approaches such as relevance theory, speech act theory and politeness theory, introducing the reader to a series of analytical tools such as entailment, presupposition, implicature and textual coherence.
