Pragmatics: An Introduction
"Strongly recommended reading for those with an interest in pragmatics, and certainly for those requiring an up-to-date and user-friendly pragmatics textbook."Australian Journal of Linguistics(of the First Edition)"This is a fine and wide-ranging book."Journal of Sociolinguistics"This second edition of Mey's book provides a valuable introduction to pragmatics in general and to some of Mey's theoretical ideas in particular. As such it is an appropriate text for both the undergraduate student of pragmatics and the more advanced reader in the field."Louise Cummings, Nottingham Trent University
