§12§"[...] this collection of papers offers a number of valuable contributions from some of the top researchers in first and second language pragmatics."Russel Arent in: Studies in Second Hand Acquisition 4/2009 §16§§The present volume is a collection of papers on Contrastive Pragmatics, involving research on interlanguage and cross-cultural perspectives with a focus on second language acquisition contexts. The subdiscipline of pragmatics is seen from a multilingual and multicultural perspective thus contributing to an emerging field of study, i.e. intercultural pragmatics which can be made fruitful to second language teaching/learning and contrastive analysis. The book is an important contribution to general linguistics, pragmatics, cross-cultural communication, second language acquisition, as well as minority issues in multilingual settings.§ §13§§"[...] this collection of papers offers a number of valuable contributions from some of the top researchers in first and second language pragmatics."§Russel Arent in: Studies in Second Hand Acquisition 4/2009§ §02§Martin Pütz, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Landau, Germany; JoAnne Neff-van Aertslaer, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain. §02§Martin Pütz, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Landau, Germany; JoAnne Neff-van Aertslaer, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain.
