Recenzje

'The book not only provides a comprehensive discussion of these markers but, more importantly, offers an analytic framework that future investigation into pragmatic markers can use, thereby contributing to pragmatic marker studies in particular. Furthermore, the book also demonstrates the usefulness of corpus investigation techniques in exploring pragmatic phenomena, thereby contributing to the field of corpus pragmatics in general … we value the book highly and as such we would recommend it to all those who are interested in (corpus) pragmatics.' Yuxin Li and Hang Su, Journal of Pragmatics
