Comprehensive, innovative, and easy-to-use, Introducing Pragmatics is an indispensable resource for scientists and students interested in how real-life pragmatic language failures shape our understanding of effective communication. Not only does the textbook contain a wealth of material on theory and experimental studies, but also wide-ranging topics from a multi-disciplinary perspective.Professor Elly Ifantidou, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, GreeceIntroducing Pragmatics: A Clinical Approach is an introductory popularization of pragmatics and clinical pragmatics, and its publication will undoubtedly help to further arouse the interest and attention of the linguistic community, especially of scholars in pragmatics, to devote their intellectual effort to pragmatic impairment. In addition, this book can steer linguists to enhance their interdisciplinary awareness and gain insights from cognitive science, speech pathology, clinical science, etc., and to seek interdisciplinary cooperation for better solutions to pragmatic disorders.Jiegen Zhang, Australian Review of Applied Linguistics (August 2024)By presenting a novel clinical perspective on pragmatics, this insightful volume enhances our grasp of key pragmatic concepts and principles. The in-depth analysis ofthe different ways in which pragmatics can break down in children and adults makes for compelling reading.Yulan Gong, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China for Discourse Studies 2025, Vol. 27(2)
