Variational pragmatics is the study of such uses, according to region, gender, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, among national and sub-national varieties of pluricentric languages. Despite the wide focus just outlined, this volume provides the first study of pragmatic variation across different social classes, using naturally occurring, interactional data. The discourse analyzed here was collected in over twenty restaurant service encounters spanning three price points. The aim of this study is two-fold: to provide a potential framework for how pragmatic variables and their context can be defined, using the concept of a communicative activity, and to investigate socioeconomic variation in pragmatics by taking offers, thanks responses and address forms as examples. This study contributes, both on a methodological and empirical level, to the growing body of research in variational pragmatics, as well as speech acts, terms of address, relational work and sociolinguistics"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPragmatics$xSocial aspects 606 $aPragmatics$xVariation 606 $aEnglish language$xSpoken English$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aSociolinguistics 615 0$aPragmatics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPragmatics$xVariation. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSpoken English 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 676 $a401.45 700 $aStaley$b Larssyn$01546289 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796978703321 996 $aSocioeconomic pragmatic variation$93801767 997 $aUNINA
