Opis

This new landmark series provides a comprehensive overview of the entire field of pragmatics. It is based on a wide conception of pragmatics as the study of intentional human interaction in social and cultural contexts. In-depth articles discuss the foundations, major theories and most recent developments of pragmatics including philosophical, sociocultural and cognitive as well as methodological, contrastive and diachronic perspectives.

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the pragmatics of social media. Its five parts offer state-of-the-art reviews and critical evaluations of the conceptual ground of social media, single social media platforms, the micro-and macro-level organization of social media discourse, the multifarious ways in which users collectively (re-)construct identities, and speech act functions such as disagreeing, complimenting, requesting.
