Discursive pragmatics: a platform for the pragmatic study of discourse Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This introduction to the edited volume 'Discursive pragmatics' traces a pragmatic turn in discourse studies focussing on issues as varied as appraisal, cohesion, coherence, critical linguistics, CDA, enunciation theory, rhetoric, genre studies, humor, intertextuality, manipulation, narrative, polyphony, pragmatic markers, public discourse and text linguistics.

Discursive pragmatics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ten volumes of Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thus dividing its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While the other volumes select specific philosophical, cognitive, grammatical, social, cultural, variational, or interactional angles, this 8th volume focuses on theories and phenomena at the level of discourse, but leaving aside conversational ...

Pragmatic markers in native and non-native Englishes: A study into the use of and attitudes to pragmatic markers KU Leuven
The project is set to contribute to our understanding of the use of pragmatic markers (such as so, well, you know, like) by three different types of language users: native speakers of English, learners of English as a foreign language whose mother tongue is Dutch, and speakers who use English as a means of communication on a day-to-day basis. Its main research objective is to compare these three types of speakers of English in terms of their: ...
The pragmatics of the past : a novel typology of conditionals with past tenses in Ancient Greek Universiteit Gent

This article distinguishes 6 different pragmatic usages which generalise over mood and temporal variations: ...
Inquiry in conversation: towards a modelling in inquisitive pragmatics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Conversation is one of the main contexts in which we are conducting inquiries. Yet, little attention has been paid so far in pragmatics or epistemology to the process of inquiry in conversation. In this paper, we propose to trigger such an investigation through the development of a formal modelling based on inquisitive pragmatics — a framework offering a semantic representation of questions and answers, along with an analysis of the pragmatic ...
Aspects of Historical Poetics and Pragmatics of Slavic Charms Universiteit Gent
Although traditional verbal charms and incantation rituals have received extensive attention in Slavic ethnolinguistics and folklore studies, the need still exists for a more in-depth poetic and contextual (re)analysis of ritual folk texts, more in particular of the interrelation between their stylistic, compositional, referential and functional properties. In this context, the article points towards the possible benefits of an integrated ...
Andrej Platonov and the pragmatics of radical modernism Universiteit Gent
The article discusses one of the possible ways to interpret PlatonovU+2019s oeuvre with regard to the Avant-Garde problematics of life-creation, its pragmatics of action and expression. There are noticeable affinities between the historical Avant-Garde, its radical left-wing politics and poetics on the one hand and PlatonovU+2019s U+201CcryptomodernistU+201D aesthetics of the U+201Cnew communalityU+201D on the other. PlatonovU+2019s ironic ...
