Acquiring Pragmatics offers a comprehensive synthesis of state-of-the-art research on the acquisition of pragmatics. It introduces the current topics of research in theoretical pragmatics and explores the issues they raise for language acquisition research and the new experimental designs which have been developed to address them.

While each chapter covers each topic in depth, it also places a strong emphasis on the underlying methodological aspects of each issue, which will help the reader to develop their own experimental designs. Key topics covered include:

The interfaces between pragmatics and language acquisition

The social aspects of pragmatic competence

The cognitive aspects of pragmatic competence

The acquisition of pragmatics in autistic spectrum disorders and second language acquisition

Acquiring Pragmatics

is key reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying pragmatics and language acquisition.

Industry Reviews

Sandrine Zufferey has done the fields of pragmatics, language acquisition, and cognitive science an invaluable service. Her book covers a remarkably broad range of results and ideas that she skillfully integrates into a beautifully structured, impeccably researched, and engaging synthesis. An authoritative and endlessly fascinating exposition of the state-of-the-art, Acquiring Pragmatics should be required reading for anyone interested in the study of pragmatics, its acquisition, and its place within the sciences of the mind.
Julien Musolino, Rutgers University, USA

This book gives a very readable and up-to-date review of a field in language acquisition that deserves more attention: pragmatics. I highly recommend it.
Ted Sanders, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
