Abstract:
This volume presents a variety of pragmatic and discourse analytical
approaches to a wide range of linguistic data and historical texts,
including data from English, French, Irish, Latin, and Spanish. This
diversity of research questions and methods is a feature of the field of
historical pragmatics, which by its very nature has to take into account
the multiplicity of historical contexts and the infinite variety of human
interaction. This is highlighted in the book's introduction by means of the
metaphor of "opening windows". Each chapter is a window affording a
different view of the linguistic and textual landscape. Some of these
windows were opened by historical linguists who have acquired discourse
perspectives, some by pragmaticians with historical interests, and others
by literary scholars drawing from linguistic pragmatics.
