"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
...a succinct and thorough review of the major issues in the study of pragmatics...would serve well as the main text for an introductory course or seminar on pragmatics....also useful for second language teachers and researchers interested in this related field who wish to have a good resource book.
—Modern Language Journal
...provides a strong foundation of work on pragmatics that will give cognitive scientists a solid understanding of the important basic problems of natural language understanding that have previously been dealt with by philosophers and linguists....filled with interesting phenomena that deserve further psychological investigation.
—American Journal of Psychology
I heartily recommend P&NLU as a well-written, concise introduction to modern linguistic pragmatics. As an undergraduate textbook, it is ideal.
—Language
Praise for the first edition:
...certainly fills a need in a growing market of interdisciplinary audiences needing a basic understanding of natural language semantics and principles of information communication....may be very effective in triggering their interest and motivating further study in the field.

I am happy to say that I liked it much better than pragmatics texts I had used in the past, and that my course was more successful overall than it had been before. The students found it clearly written and (relatively) easy to understand. The examples are especially clear. In general, then, it is excellent, and I intend to use it for the same course this coming year.
