- Authors
Adams, Jennifer L.
- Abstract
The book "Fiction and Pragmatics" by Miriam A. Locher, Andreas H. Jucker, Daniela Landert, and Thomas C. Messerli explores the relationship between fiction and pragmatics. The authors argue that fiction can be analyzed using pragmatic processes and provide a methodology for doing so. The book is organized into six chapters that cover participation structure, performance, interaction, and discourse and ideology in the creation of characters. The authors use examples from various types of fiction, including novels, plays, and films, to illustrate their ideas. The book is concise and authoritative, making it a valuable resource for scholars in pragmatics and related fields.
