The present textbook outlines the main theories, concepts and domains of linguistic pragmatics, illustrating the key issues with authentic discourse data and providing tools for the reader’s own study of pragmatic phenomena in language. Structured in 6 chapters, it deals with the main areas and frameworks, such as speech acts, implicature, presupposition and others, discussing their theoretical features and practical applications, and eventually describing their individual as well as collective input in the analysis of language and discourse. Each chapter contains an overview of central issues, approaches and debates within the field of pragmatics, followed by a corresponding practice pack that offers structured opportunities for applied learning through varied exercises and analytical tasks. The tasks often engage with current real-world data, such as in the form of short utterances, simulated dialogues and excerpts from political, media, journalistic, institutional, advertising, coaching, and other discourses. Through these exercises, students connect theoretical understanding with authentic communicative strategies, observing and analyzing the ways in which pragmatic choices serve specific interactional and rhetorical goals. Comprehensive answer keys at the end of the chapters make the book suitable for self-study, while more open-ended and research-oriented activities can be pursued under tutor guidance. Finally, the textbook offers a concluding self-assessment quiz that allows learners to consolidate both theoretical and practical knowledge gained throughout the consecutive chapters. Altogether, the book is meant to serve the needs of students at BA, MA, as well as PhD levels, depending on their starting expertise and the amount of support from the tutor.
