beliefs <BR>of <BR>the speech commu-nities concerned. Focusing on examples from many <BR>different <BR>cultural locations, the contributing authors ask not only: 'What is <BR>distinctive about these particular ways of speaking?', but also: 'Why - <BR>from their own point of view - do the people concerned speak in these <BR>particular ways? What sense does it make to them?'. <BR><BR>The ethnopragmatic approach stands in opposition to the <BR>culture-external <BR>universalist pragmatics represented by neo-Gricean pragmatics and <BR>politeness theory. Using "cultural scripts" and semantic explications - <BR>techniques developed over 20 years work in cross-cultural semantics by <BR>Anna <BR>Wierzbicka and colleagues - the authors examine a wide range of <BR>phenomena, <BR>including: speech acts, terms of address, phraseological patterns, <BR>jocular <BR>irony, facial expressions, interactional routines, discourse particles, <BR>expressive derivation, and emotionality. The
authors and languages are: <BR>Anna Wierzbicka (English), Cliff Goddard (Australian English), Jock <BR>Wong <BR>(Singapore English), Zhengdao Ye (Chinese), Catherine Travis (Colombian <BR>Spanish), Rie Hasada (Japanese) and Felix Ameka (Ewe). Taken together, <BR>these studies demonstrate both the profound "cultural shaping" of <BR>speech <BR>practices, and the power and subtlety of new methods and techniques of <BR>a <BR>semantically grounded ethnopragmatics. <BR><BR>The book will appeal not only to linguists and anthropologists, but to <BR>all <BR>scholars and students with an interest in language, communication and <BR>culture. <BR><BR>Key features: <BR>New series <BR>The book presents case studies from a diverse range of languages. <BR>It demonstrates how prevailing cultural attitudes, norms and beliefs <BR>can be <BR>modelled in a clear, precise and non-ethnocentric fashion. <BR><BR>Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics
