Historical pragmatics is placed at the intersection between pragmatics, historical linguistics and neighbouring disciplines like (historical) sociolinguistics.This book introduces this field to advanced linguistic students coming to the topic for the first time.
Providing an ideal introduction to historical pragmatics, this guide gives students a solid grounding in historical pragmatics and teaches the methodology needed to analyse language in social, cultural and historical contexts. Using a number of case studies including politeness, news discourse, and scientific discourse, this book provides new insights into the analysis of discourse markers, interjections, terms of address and speech acts. Through focusing on the methodological problems in using historical data, students learn the key concepts in historical pragmatics, as well as covering recent work at the interface of between language and literature.
