Pragmatics and Language Learning: Volume 11

ed. by Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig; J. Cesar Felix-Brasdefer; Alwiya S. Omar

Pragmatics and Language Learning
Distributed for the National Foreign Language Resource Center

This volume features cutting-edge research on L2 pragmatics from a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches. It offers fresh perspectives on standard topics such as the use and learning of speech acts and the pragmatic meanings of linguistic resources, and the effect of planned intervention on pragmatic development in language instruction. The chapters also document researchers’ increasing attention to different forms of computer-mediated communication as environments for using and developing L2 pragmatic competence, and of conversation analysis as an approach to different aspects of interaction in a variety of settings.

Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig is professor of second language studies at Indiana University. J. César Félix-Brasdefer is assistant professor of Spanish and linguistics in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. Alwiya S. Omar is clinical associate professor of linguistics at Indiana University.
