Uffff there is some event horizon beyond which the systematizing impulse collapses in on itself and pulls you in black hole style. This is a comprehensive and erudite field survey with tons of interesting observations by a brilliant borbetomagus of the language field, but language isn't math and beyond a certain point I--personally--can't help but be appalled by the scholastic rationalism of the many fine distinctions and inferences and cloud scaffolding all throughout here. I knew how I felt about that in the case of generative syntax, say, or constraint-based phonology, but I do certainly appreciate Levinson and his wordhoard for helping me clarify that it applies even for a field in which I feel such a deep investment and interest as pragmatics. Humanistic, impressionistic, hermeneutic, stochastic methods are the methods you should use when you don't have scientific evidence, as long as we're talking about the real world (and not math, and I guess also theoretical physics has a really good track record of not needing real-world evidence, but it's somehow closer to math than the rest of the sciences, I guess?). And certainly we have much wider crosslinguistic-descriptive and more extensive psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic work on all this stuff at present. From the perspective that this was a field in its empirical toddlerhood, this is an amazing work. But some of it is superseded and other of it is just not my philosophical bag, though I'm not saying it can't be yourn. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Those aspects of language use that are crucial to an understanding of language as a system, and especially to an understanding of meaning, are the acknowledged concern of linguistic pragmatics. This textbook provides a lucid and integrative analysis of the central topics in pragmatics - deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech acts, and conversational structure. A central concern of the book is the relation between pragmatics and semantics, and Dr Levinson shows clearly how a pragmatic approach can resolve some of the problems semantics have been confronting and simplifying semantic analyses. The exposition is always clear and supported by helpful exemplification. The detailed analyses of selected topics give the student a clear view of the empirical rigour demanded by the study of linguistic pragmatics, but Dr Levinson never loses sight of the rich diversity of the subject. An introduction and conclusion relate pragmatics to other fields in linguistics and other disciplines concerned with language usage - psychology, philosophy, anthropology and literature.
