It is particularly timely because pragmatics has generally been understudied in past research on World Englishes, especially postcolonial Englishes. Apart from drawing attention to the paucity of research, the book also contributes to theory formation on the emerging theoretical framework, postcolonial pragmatics, which is then applied to data from two World (postcolonial) Englishes, Ghanaian and Cameroon Englishes. The copious examples used clearly illustrate how postcolonial societies realise various pragmatic phenomena, in this case offers and offer refusals, and how these could be fruitfully explained using an analytical framework designed on the complex internal set ups of these societies. For research on social interaction in these societies to be representative, it has to take into account the complex history of their evolution, contact with other systems during colonialism, and the heritages thereof. This book does just that"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPoliteness (Linguistics) 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zForeign countries 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects 606 $aSpeech acts (Linguistics) 615 0$aPoliteness (Linguistics) 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSpeech acts (Linguistics) 676 $a420.1/45 700 $aAnchimbe$b Eric A.$0869038 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827797003321 996 $aOffers and offer refusals$94058588 997 $aUNINA
