"Experimental Pragmatics Theory and Research(English Edition )":The aim of this book is to provide basic theories and research in experimental pragmatics. Professor Liu illustrates the experi mental pragmatics with the theoretical focus, research methods,main research questions, and some experimental results. In a summary of the history and the controversies regarding the core theories in pragmatics, Professor Robert Harnish provides his comments and views on these matters. From a psycholinguistic perspective, Professor Merrill Garrett elucidates the practical issues in psycholinguistic study concerned with experimental pragmatics.Some experimental studies by these authors are also presented.This book is an appropriate reference for researchers, instructors,and students in pragmatics, psycholinguistics, semantics, cognitivelinguistics, and related disciplines.
