Yan Huang's highly successful textbook on pragmatics - the study of language in use - has been fully revised and updated in this second edition. It includes a brand new chapter on reference, a major topic in both linguistics and the philosophy of language. Chapters have also been updated to

include new material on upward and downward entailment, current debates about conversational implicature, impoliteness, emotional deixis, contextualism versus semantic minimalism, and the elimination of binding conditions. 

The book draws on data from English and a wide range of the world's languages, and shows how pragmatics is related to the study of semantics, syntax, and sociolinguistics and to such fields as the philosophy of language, linguistic anthropology, and artificial intelligence. Professor Huang includes

exercises and essay topics at the end of each chapter, and offers guidance and suggested solutions at the end of the volume. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this new edition will continue to be an ideal textbook for students of linguistics, and a valuable resource for scholars

and students of language in philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and computer science.

Yan Huang is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Auckland, and has previously taught at the universities of Reading, Cambridge, and Oxford. His published work includes The Syntax of Anaphora (CUP 1994), Anaphora: A Cross-Linguistic Study (OUP 2000), and The Oxford Dictionary of Pragmatics

(OUP 2012).
