Description

First published in 1988, this Routledge academic text provides a comprehensive examination of pragmatic competence within English preposing constructions. Rather than limiting analysis to isolated grammatical categories as previous scholars have done, this work identifies significant pragmatic generalisations across preposing types. The author establishes that semantic and pragmatic properties of constituent referents distinguish one preposing construction from another, offering a theoretical framework grounded in discourse function. This scholarly volume moves beyond traditional grammatical approaches to deliver a pragmatic theory applicable to authentic language use, making it essential for linguistics researchers, graduate students, and language scholars seeking deeper understanding of how preposing operates within broader communicative contexts.

Key Features

Examines pragmatic competence within English preposing constructions and their discourse functions.

Presents a pragmatic theory that identifies semantic and pragmatic properties distinguishing preposing types.

Published by Routledge as part of the Library Editions series on Semantics and Semiology.

Addresses limitations in previous preposing studies by capturing significant pragmatic generalisations.

Essential reference for linguistics researchers and students studying grammar structure and syntax.
