Possibilities and Limitations of Pragmatics
Proceedings of the Conference on Pragmatics, Urbino, July 8–14, 1979
Editors
This impressive volume attempts to make an assessment of past achievements, but also to open up new perspectives in the field of pragmatics, exactly ten years after the publication of Searle’s seminal Speech Acts. This rich collection presents an unrivaled diversity of topics and approaches united by the possibilities and limitations generic to the field of pragmatics.
