Previous edited collections have focused on pragmatics in second language use and on instruction in pragmatics, whereas reports on interlanguage pragmatic development have been confined to the journal literature.

The volume offers the first book-length treatment of second and foreign language learners' acquisition of pragmatics. Previous edited collections have focused on pragmatics in second language use and on instruction in pragmatics, whereas reports on interlanguage pragmatic development have been confined to the journal literature. Beginning with a survey of the significantly better developed field of first language developmental pragmatics, this book provides a comprehensive discussion of developmental interlanguage pragmatics, presenting an up-to-date account of research findings and covering such central issues as the theoretical and empirical approaches to L2 pragmatic development, the relationship of pragmatic and grammatical development, and the influence of learning contexts, instruction, and individual differences.

Rezensionen
"This is a comprehensive and scholarly overview of the current state of research into IL pragmatic development. The structure of the book, with regular summaries, makes it easy to read and to consult. The way that existing research studies are reviewed, compared and critiqued, along with the suggestions for more interdisciplinary links and the identification of important research gaps is helpful and stimulating." Katie Gray, Department of Continuing Education, Oxford University - Language Awareness
