Mouton Series in Pragmatics (MSP)
Focus on All Aspects of Pragmatics

Editor: Istvan Kecskes (State University of New York, Albany, USA)

MSP is a timely response to the growing demand for innovative and
authoritative monographs and edited volumes from all angles of pragmatics.
Recent theoretical work on the semantics/pragmatics interface, applications
of evolutionary biology to the study of language, and empirical work within
cognitive and developmental psychology and intercultural communication has
directed attention to issues that warrant reexamination, as well as
revision of some of the central tenets and claims of the field of
pragmatics. The series welcomes proposals that reflect this endeavor and
exploration within the discipline and neighboring fields such as linguistic
philosophy, communication, information science, sociolinguistics, second
language acquisition and cognitive science. MSP will provide a forum for
authors who represent different subfields of pragmatics including the
linguistic, cognitive, social, and intercultural paradigms, and have
important and intriguing ideas and research findings to share with scholars
who are interested in linguistics in general and pragmatics in particular.
