This is an introductory-level textbook focusing on linguistic pragmatics; the transdiscipline that studies language- and culture-specific forms of language use as social action. Languages are used by their speakers in multimodal social interactions according to language- and culture-specific conventions, rules and regulations. The book discusses how the meaning of utterances can only be understood in relation to overall cultural, situative and interpersonal contexts, culture specific conventions and the speech events in which they are embedded.
