The literature review provided by Sik Hung Ng and James J. Bradac is particularly thorough and informative. --Canadian Journal of Communication "This volume, the third in the Language and Language Behaviors Series, fits nicely with the series′ aim to reveal ways language behaviors create and revise everyday life. The book provides extremely broad coverage of a vast amount of literature that adopts quite a diversity of positions with regard to how language and power are connected. It is written in a style accessible to students in social psychology, as well as verbal communication, and at the same time tackles questions that should be at the forefront of discussions of researchers in these fields as well." --Nancy Budwig in Journal of Language and

Concise Encyclopedia of Pragmatics (Revised)
<p><i>Concise Encyclopedia of Pragmatics, </i> <i>Second Edition </i>(COPE) is an authoritative single-volume reference resource comprehensively describing the discipline of pragmatics, an important branch of natural language study dealing with the study of language in it's entire user-related theoretical and practical complexity.</p> <p>As a derivative volume from <i>Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, Second Edition</i>, it comprises contributions from the foremost scholars of semantics in their various specializations and draws on 20+ years of development in the parent work in a compact and affordable format. Principally intended for tertiary level inquiry and research, this will be invaluable as a reference work for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as academics inquiring into the study of meaning and meaning relations within languages. As pragmatics is a centrally important and inherently cross-cutting area within linguistics, it will therefore be relevant not just for meaning specialists, but for most linguistic audiences.</p>
