From the reviews: "Perspectives on Pragmatics and Philosophy, has adopted a philosophical focus to address issues within pragmatics that have a bearing on the philosophy of language. ... a useful guide for the less-experienced general audience that wants to know a lot more about pragmatics; the theoretical questions raised by contributing authors, on the other hand, function as points of departure for professional researchers who are interested in exploring new (theoretical) frontiers in pragmatics as a still-young field of inquiry."
