Product Description

This book is a pioneering work, which meticulously presents the instantiation of various pragmatic universals within the Romanian languaculture and complements existing research on Romanian language structure. The authors explore topics such as the pragmatics-grammar interface, speech acts, im/politeness, discourse genres, humor, emotions, and cyber discourse, arriving at insightful generalizations that compile a cluster of pragmatic features of Romanian in use. The volume integrates and supplements previous analyses, filling a critical gap in the literature. Beyond its academic significance, The Pragmatics of Romanian offers valuable information for cross-cultural and intercultural approaches to language and communication in a globalized society.

Mouton Series in Pragmatics (MSP) is a timely response to the growing demand for innovative and authoritative monographs and edited volumes from all angles of pragmatics. Recent theoretical work on the semantics/pragmatics interface, applications of evolutionary biology to the study of language, and empirical work within cognitive and developmental psychology and intercultural communication has directed attention to issues that warrant reexamination, as well as revision of some of the central tenets and claims of the field of pragmatics. The series welcomes proposals that reflect this endeavour and exploration within the discipline and neighboring fields such as language philosophy, communication, information science, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition and cognitive science. MSP will provide a forum for authors who represent different subfields of pragmatics including the linguistic, cognitive, social, and intercultural paradigms, and have important and intriguing ideas and research findings to share with scholars who are interested in linguistics in general and pragmatics in particular.
