ConclusionReferences; Appendix. Editorials; News reports; IndexThis book probes into under-researched issues in L2 pragmatics. Firstly, pragmatic competence, pragmatic awareness and metapragmatic awareness are re-defined and clearly distinguished on theoretical grounds. Secondly, pragmatic competence and its manifestations are evaluated on empirical grounds by distinct criteria and validated testing measures. More importantly, genuine pragmatic inference is elicited in contexts of online interpretation where figurative speech plays a central role. Genre-specific discourse which occurs in editorials and news reports serves as a natural testbePragmatics & beyond new series ;Volume 245.Communicative competencePragmaticsSpeech acts (Linguistics)RelevanceCommunicative competence.Pragmatics.Speech acts (Linguistics)Relevance.401/.4Ifantidou Elly1692182MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816022503321Pragmatic competence and relevance4098319UNINA
