The publication arose from the need to combine knowledge with practice. It includes extensive sets of exercises, from simple tasks to doctoral-level analyses. All aimed at truly understanding how speech acts, implicatures, presuppositions and (im)politeness strategies work.
The authors draw on vivid examples from the world around us: everyday conversations, political discourse, the media, advertising and institutional communication.
Who is it for?
The publication is intended for students, teachers and researchers who want to not only learn theory but also learn to consciously analyse meaning, intention and context in real-world communication situations.
The publication is available in English.
