Recent Developments in Pragmatics as Evidenced by Handbook of Pragmatics

Jiang Wang-qi

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Handbook of Pragmatics(2004)by Horn and Ward consists of four parts.The second part Pragmatics and Discourse Structure is about a relatively unfamiliar topic.An analysis of the papers in the second part suggests that there is a discursive turn in pragmatics.This characterization can be verified by the editors' area and the related papers in the other parts.However,considering the relation between pragmatics and discourse analysis,it is perhaps more accurate to say that the recent trend in pragmatics is a return,rather than turn,to discourse.
