Doing Pragmatics makes pragmatics accessible to students of linguistics and covers all the major areas of the subject in a lively and engaging way. The author first discusses typical features of pragmatic language use, such as indirectness, indeterminacy, appropriacy and the relationship between language and context. These lay the foundation for a thorough yet accessible examination of indexicality, relevance and intentionality, each of which are approached at two levels, enabling students to progress from an initial understanding of the concept to a more detailed examination of the further issues involved. The author also considers the part these properties of utterances play in extended examples of talk. Doing Pragmatics is written as an interactive coursebook and includes exercises, activities and a detailed key, making it ideal for use in class. It will be an invaluable source for students of linguistics and related disciplines who need to understand the principles of language use.

Foreign Language Study & Reference

The first edition of Doing Pragmatics was written for pragmatics courses both at introductory and more advanced level, and had the advantage at the time of including a substantial practical element where other texts were only expounding dry theory. In this new edition, Grundy consolidates the strengths of the original version. The book is restructured to reinforce its unique combination of theory and practice. Exercises that proved difficult in the first edition or are dated have been up-dated or replaced. The text is more accessible and interesting for students. A lively and engaging introduction to the study of pragmatics, the first edition of 'Doing Pragmatics' achieved success through its unparalleled capacity to render pragmatics truly accessible to students. Embracing the comprehensive and user-friendly style which characterised the original, this new edition extends beyond theory to allow an applied understanding of empirical data and the opportunity for students to 'do' pragmatics themselves. Beginning with an exploration of the relationship between language and context, the book then introduces the major areas of linguistic pragmatics: deixis, speech acts, Grice's theory of conversational implicature, Relevance Theory and presupposition, before expanding into wider areas: speech events, politeness phenomena, conversation and metapragmatics. Each explanation is counterbalanced with the close examination of 'live' data taken from a a variety of sources, which serves to lighten the theory and to emphasise the 'how to' application of pragmatics. Exercises are included at regular intervals throughout chapters to confirm understanding and encourage practice of the principles learnt. The Answer Key which was printed as an appendix in the first edition, is now available at the Arnold website. Thoroughly revised and updated the new 'Doing Pragmatics' provides a solid foundation in the subject for students of linguistics and related disciplines.

Doing Pragmatics achieved success through its unparalleled capacity to render pragmatics truly accessible to students. Embracing the comprehensive and engaging style which characterised the previous editions, the third edition is fully revised and expanded. Grundy consolidates the strengths of the original version, reinforcing its unique combination of theory and practice with new theory, exercises and up-to-date, real data and examples. New chapters include pragmatic inference and language evolution, and intercultural pragmatics. Doing Pragmatics is designed for pragmatics courses both at an introductory and a more advanced level. It extends beyond theory to promote an applied understanding of empirical data and to provide students with the opportunity to 'do' pragmatics themselves, providing the ideal foundation for all those studying linguistics and ELT.

Philosophy

Writing for Study Purposes: A Teacher's Guide to Developing Individual Writing Skills

Writing for Study Purposes puts forward a new approach to the teaching of writing. The essential principles are that language development should be related to the broader needs of the curriculum, that we always write for a purpose and a specific reader, and that learners are individuals with their own personal needs and intentions, resources and concerns. Writing for Study Purposes emphasizes the processes by which learners can write free from the constraints of other people's ideas and the need to conform to prescriptions. The first section looks in detail at the issues surrounding the teaching of writing in an academic context. It examines the writing process, cultural assumptions, ways of improving and evaluating writing, and ways of using exercises in the classroom. The second section presents a wide range of writing exercises, grouped together into four categories: syllabus negotiation, organization of material, cross-cultural considerations, and writing skills and techniques. Writing for Study Purposes provides ideas and resources for all those who are teaching writing within a communicative approach. It is suitable for use with students at intermediate and more advanced levels.

Brookes, Arthur

Cambridge University Press

Emphasizing the processes by which learners can write free from the constraints of other people's ideas, this text presents a new approach to teaching. It examines the writing process, cultural assumptions, ways of improving and evaluating writing and using the included exercises.

Beginning to Write contains over 100 writing activities suitable for elementary and intermediate learners. It shows that it is possible to take the teaching of writing seriously at an early stage in language learning. It also recognises the role writing plays in general language learning. The introduction discusses the differences between speaking and writing, the purpose of writing and the real world uses to which it is put. Process writing is discussed in a particularly clear manner and approaches to teaching writing are considered. There are activities: - to start learners writing with confidence - that practise such mechanics as capitalisation, spelling and punctuation - that focus on the writing process - that show how vaulable computers can be in teaching writing - that focus on outcomes and on the assessment of writing.
