Die Sprachwissenschaft hat nicht nur mit syntaktischer Wohlgeformtheit und phonetischem Wohlklang zu tun, sondern auch mit dem angemessenen Gebrauch von Sprache. Die Pragmatik befasst sich mit den Prinzipien dieses Gebrauchs. Sie untersucht, wie wir mit Sprache handeln, um uns in Szene zu setzen, unsere Interessen durchzusetzen, Mitmenschen zu beeinflussen oder Gefühle kundzutun. Nicht immer tun wir dies direkt. Statt explizit zu sagen, was wir meinen, spielen wir darauf an, legen es nahe, unterstellen es oder lassen es nur durchblicken. Witze und Gedichte, Werbung und fiktionale Texte, Empfehlungsschreiben und Alltagsgespräche kann man nur verstehen, wenn man ‚zwischen den Zeilen liest‘. In den 17 Kapiteln dieses Buchs werden Studierende wie Lehrende mit den klassischen Ansätzen ebenso wie mit den wichtigsten Grundbegriffen der Pragmatik vertraut gemacht. Neben den zahlreichen Beispielen und der Doppelterminologie in deutsch-englisch machen Schaubilder und Schemata, Glossar und Index diese Einführung zu einem nützlichen Arbeitsmittel für den Einstieg wie für das vertiefende Selbststudium.

The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.
