The Pragmatics of Romanian

Overview & Synopsis

This book is a pioneering work, which meticulously presents the instantiation of various pragmatic universals within the Romanian languaculture and complements existing research on Romanian language structure. The authors explore topics such as the pragmatics-grammar interface, speech acts, im/politeness, discourse genres, humor, emotions, and cyber discourse, arriving at insightful generalizations that compile a cluster of pragmatic features of Romanian in use. The volume integrates and supplements previous analyses, filling a critical gap in the literature. Beyond its academic significance, The Pragmatics of Romanian offers valuable information for cross-cultural and intercultural approaches to language and communication in a globalized society.
