This is illustrated by the present volume on Contrastive Pragmatics which brings together a number of articles originally presented at the 10th International Pragmatics Conference in Göteborg in 2007. The contributions deal with pragmatic phenomena such as speech acts, discourse markers and modality in different language pairs using theoretical approaches such as politeness theory, Conversation Analysis, Appraisal Theory, grammaticalization and cultural textology. Also discourse practices and genres may differ across cultures as illustrated by the study of TV news shows in different countries. Contrastive pragmatics also includes the comparative study of pragmatic phenomena from a foreign language perspective, a new area with implications for language teaching and intercultural communication. The contributions to this volume were originally published in Languages in Contrast 9:1 (2009). 410 0$aBenjamins current topics ;$vv. 30. 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aInterlanguage (Language learning) 606 $aSecond language acquisition 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aInterlanguage (Language learning) 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a401/.45 686 $aER 940$2rvk 701 $aAijmer$b Karin$0467035 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812696503321 996 $aContrastive pragmatics$94048085 997 $aUNINA
