Cross-Cultural Pragmatics and Foreign Language Learning
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics and Foreign Language Learning provides a new ground-breaking approach to the study of second language learning through the lens of cross-cultural pragmatics.Cross-cultural pragmatics involves the use of contrastive linguistic research, supported by a variety of methodologies such as surveys, interviews and discourse completion tests.A key strength of the speech act-centred interactional framework proposed is that it allows the reader to understand difficulties faced by foreign language learners through pragmatic evidence.An important advantage of this approach is that it consistently avoids ideological pre-assumptions and related overgeneralisations.The book presents the framework in a highly accessible and reader-friendly way and illustrates how to put this framework to use with a number of case studies.The authors are internationally leading experts of pragmatics and applied linguistics whose work is a must-read for both academics and students focusing on applied linguistics and second language learnings.

Frege's Pragmatics
Uncovering an aspect of Gottlob Frege’s linguistic theorizing that has until now received little attention, this volume offers the first detailed exposition of Frege’s pragmatics.Thorsten Sander explores his views on colouring, side-thoughts, presuppositions, indexicals and illocutionary force and closely relates these to current research in philosophy of language and linguistics. Throughout his career, Frege was concerned with various secondary aspects of meaning.He claims, for instance, that the two words ‘dog’ and ‘cur’ differ not in what he calls sense, but merely in colouring.By contrast, the difference between ‘morning star’ and ‘evening star’ is supposed to be a matter of sense.How exactly does sense differ from colouring? Frege also claims that by using a proper name one presupposes the existence of its bearer and that our utterances are frequently associated with side-thoughts.What exactly does he mean by these terms, and wherein lies the difference between these phenomena?Frege's Pragmatics answers questions such as these, providing a fresh perspective on Frege’s account of various pragmatic aspects of language.In this first book-length treatment, Sandor makes the case that Frege’s groundbreaking ideas are an essential part of his overall philosophical enterprise.
