Synopsis:
Meaning in Interaction: An Introduction to Pragmatics is a comprehensive introductory text which discusses the development of pragmatics - its aims and methodology - and also introduces themes that are not generally covered in other texts.
Jenny Thomas focuses on the dynamic nature of speaker meaning, considering the central roles of both speaker and hearer, and takes into account the social and psychological factors involved in the generation and interpretation of utterances. The book includes a detailed examination of the development of Pragmatics as a discipline, drawing attention to problems encountered in earlier work, and brings the reader up to date with recent discussion in the field. The book is written principally for students with no previous knowledge of pragmatics, and the basic concepts are covered in considerable detail. Theoretical and more complicated information is highlighted with examples that have been drawn from the media, fiction and real-life interaction, and makes the study more accessible to newcomers. It is an ideal introductory textbook for students of linguistics and for all who are interested in analysing problems in communication.

Condition: Aceptable. : Este libro es una introducción completa a la pragmática, que explora su desarrollo, objetivos y metodología. Jenny Thomas se centra en la naturaleza dinámica del significado del hablante, considerando los roles centrales tanto del hablante como del oyente, y tiene en cuenta los factores sociales y psicológicos involucrados en la generación e interpretación de las expresiones. El libro incluye un examen detallado del desarrollo de la pragmática como disciplina, señalando los problemas encontrados en trabajos anteriores y actualizando al lector con las discusiones recientes en el campo. Está escrito principalmente para estudiantes sin conocimientos previos de pragmática, y los conceptos básicos se cubren con considerable detalle. La información teórica y más complicada se destaca con ejemplos extraídos de los medios de comunicación, la ficción y la interacción de la vida real, lo que hace que el estudio sea más accesible para los recién llegados.
