Abstract:
This volume unites various contributions reflecting the intellectual
interests exhibited by Professor Herman Parret (Institute of Philosophy,
Leuven), who has continued to observe, and often critically assess, ongoing
developments in pragmatics throughout his career. In fact, Parret's
contributions to philosophical and empirical/linguistic pragmatics present
substantive proposals in the epistemics of communication, while
simultaneously offering meta-comments on the ideological premises of extant
pragmatic analyses. In a lengthy introduction, an overview is provided of
his achievements in promoting an integrated, "maximalist" pragmatics, as
well as of the links between his own work in philosophy of language and in
semiotics and aesthetics. The remaining 12 essays address relevant
pragmatic themes or look into the relation between pragmatics and
neighboring disciplines. They deal with grammatical deixis (Brisard,
Ikegami) and mood (van der Auwera & Schalley), performativity (Harnish,
Holdcroft), speech-act types and their praxeological dimensions (Roulet,
Van Overbeke), Wittgensteinian language games (Marques, Parisi), cultural
and intercultural identities (Vandenabeele, Verschueren), and the visual
arts (Wildgen).

Abstract:
This book examines the resources that speakers employ when building
conversations. These resources contribute to overall coherence and
cohesion, which speakers create and maintain interactively as they build on
each other's contributions. The study is cross-linguistic, drawing on
parallel corpora of task-oriented dialogues between dyads of native
speakers of English and Spanish. The framework of the investigation is the
analysis of speech genres and their staging; the analysis shows that each
stage in the dialogues exhibits different thematic, rhetorical, and
cohesive relations. The main contributions of the book are: a corpus-based
characterization of a spoken genre (task-oriented dialogue); the
compilation of a body of analysis tools for generic analysis; application
of English-based analyses to Spanish and comparison between the two
languages; and a study of the characteristics of each generic stage in
task-oriented dialogue.
