It is devoted to research that draws on data from a wide array of languages, socially varied populations and diverse situations to address pertinent issues in theories of language interpretation, and to explore the interaction between pragmatics and neighboring fields. The rationale behind the series is straightforward: just as descriptive work in pragmatics needs to be framed within rigorous theories, attested data needs to be put at the heart of theorizing. Recent developments in the language sciences mean this dual goal can now be more easily met. Many pragmaticians have adopted a cognitively-oriented research agenda. Corpora are multiplying, allowing computationally and statistically informed analyses. Experimental and audiovisual techniques have improved dramatically. Researchers are in a position to strike the right balance between theoretical engagement and solid empirical grounding. EFTP offers a natural venue for their work. The new series will feature both monographs and collective volumes. Readership EFTP is addressed to advanced students and researchers in linguistics, psychology, and human communication research, as well as to philosophers of language interested in practical and psychological aspects of language use.
