These issues have been studied in two disciplines: linguistic pragmatics and psycholinguistics, with only limited interactions between the two. This volume lays down the foundation for a new field: "Experimental Pragmatics," Contributions review pioneering work and present novel ways of articulating theories and experimental methods in the area. |
