Teaching, Learning and Investigating Pragmatics: Principles, Methods and Practices

The topics investigated include: speech acts; computer-mediated communication; conversation analysis; pragmatic, intercultural, and emotional competence; native and non-native performance; data collection and instructional methods; needs analysis; and syllabus design and materials development.
