Recenzje

"The textbook ranges broadly across the field of pragmatics...This has advantages in that an instructor can introduce students to a great many topics and approaches which are likely to get short shrift or no shrift at all in the language textbooks available to learners." - LINGUIST List 33.238, January 2022
