Book excerpt: Studies in Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics offers valuable contributions to research in pragmatics that will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students in many sub-disciplines of the field. The volume gathers a wide selection of papers that address traditional and recent issues in pragmatics and adopts a multidisciplinary approach, as most papers are based on various theoretical models and paradigms. An emphasis is placed on the interaction of cognitive processes and socio-cultural beliefs and practices to account for language production and interpretation. From this perspective, the papers offer new and revealing findings that support existing research, novel insights into language production and interpretation and useful directions for future research.
