The first edition of Peter Grundy's Doing Pragmatics achieved success through its unparalleled capacity to render pragmatics accessible to those studying it. With the same user-friendly style, this revised and updated edition will provide a solid foundation in the subject for students of linguistics and related disciplines.
Peter Grundy has taught in schools and worked in teacher training and higher education. He is author of several resource books for teachers and has a developed interest in pragmatics. He also likes horses, and would be pleased to go the races with anyone sharing a similar passion.
Populated by detailed observation and hugely informative. Overall structure is not conducive or better understanding, becomes repetitive to a fault and the informal asides become grating.
