Summary: "This book started out as a series of guest lectures that Attardo delivered in Pickering's Pragmatics and SLA class on Grice, speech-act theory, and presuppositions. We had both taught separately courses on pragmatics, Pickering on the SLA and TESOL connections, Attardo on "Theoretical Pragmatics." Since we were both unhappy with the options for textbooks at the graduate level, besides the venerable Levinson (1983), now almost 40 years old, we started talking about turning the lectures into a book that would be both an introduction to pragmatics and a book about its applications to SLA and TESOL. For obvious pedagogical reasons the discussion of theoretical pragmatics precedes its applications to SLA/TESOL. However, we want to be very clear that the book was built exactly the other way around: we started from the applications to SLA/TESOL and then proceeded to determine exactly what the students needed to know about the theory in order to understand the discussion of the SLA/TESOL applications of pragmatics"-- Provided by publisher.
