会话是一个复杂而有序、受规则支配的活动。小说会话通常用来实现多重任务，因而更加复杂。尽管如此，它是有序的、有章法的，并且可以用语言学分析方法对其进行系统描述的。汪承平所著的《文学语篇的语用文体学研究--基于顺应理论的小说人物会话分析》在语言学和文体学相关研究的基础上，构建了基于语言选择与顺应的小说人物会话分析框架。该框架综合了顺应论和语用学其他相关理论的最新研究成果，并试图解答如何让顺应论更有效地促进文学话语分析这一问题。具体而言，本书就是研究作者在小说人物会话中如何选择语言成分来顺应各种语用因素以达到交际意图和艺术效果的。

汪承平所著的《文学语篇的语用文体学研究--基于顺应理论的小说人物会话分析》以语用学理论和顺应理论为基础，构建了分析小说人物会话的理论框架，并选取三本经典小说（《围城》、《儿子与情人》和《傲慢与偏见》）中的会话语料进行论证。小说人物会话通常肩负着多重任务，在推动情节发展的同时，还是人物性格的载体。本书构建的理论框架，融合了语言学和文体学的要素，从语言、文化、社会、认知等多个视角对小说人物会话进行解读，以期更好地展现小说作者的艺术手法。此外，本书的研究成果对小说研究、文学教学和小说翻译都有一定的参考作用。
