Pragmatics Cutting 第3 版本

Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students.

Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings ? all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible ?two-dimensional? structure is built around four sections ? introduction, development, exploration and extension ? which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained.
