Cr�ticas

'This is an ideal book for anyone beginning the study of discourse and pragmatics; it is transparently written without being simplistic or patronising, and is thorough and detailed without being obscure or mystifying.' - Michael McCarthy, University of Nottingham 'Joan Cutting's book provides an excellent introduction to one of the most intensively researched areas in linguistics and communication studies - pragmatics and discourse analysis. It offers the novice in the field exciting, creative and accessible ways in which to gain an understanding of the most important issues, and it also gives us old hands stimulating new food for thought.' - Richard Watts, University of Berne, Switzerland
