| Summary: | "To achieve successful communication, it is crucial to say clearly what we mean, but, at the same time, we need to pay attention to the form of our utterances, to avoid misunderstandings and the risk of offending our interlocutors. To avoid these pitfalls, we use a special category of utterances called "indirect speech acts" (ISAs) that enable an optimal balance between clarity and politeness. But how do interpreters identify the meaning of these ISAs? And how does the social context influence the use of ISAs? This book attempts to answer these questions. It deals with the main theoretical and empirical questions surrounding the meaning and usage of ISAs, drawing on the latest research and neuroimaging data. Adopting a truly interdisciplinary perspective, it will appeal to students and scholars from diverse backgrounds, and anyone interested in exploring this phenomenon, which is so pervasive in our daily lives"-- |

Adopting a truly interdisciplinary perspective, it will appeal to students and scholars from diverse backgrounds, and anyone interested in exploring this phenomenon, which is so pervasive in our daily lives. Nicolas Ruytenbeek specializes in experimental approaches to speech acts and politeness, using a combination of corpus data and psychophysiological methods. He is a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication, Ghent University.
This excellent book will take novices from the early philosophical liter ature on indirect speech acts, through the linguistic theories that have sought to extend these observations, and on to current investigations into human-robot interactions and Twitter complaints. Those more familiar with the field will still enjoy the journey, and undoubtedly learn a good deal along the way. Mark 3ary, University of Roehampton

But how do interpreters identify the meaning of these ISAs? And how does the social context influence the use of ISAs? This book attempts to answer these questions. It deals with the main theoretical and empirical questions surrounding the meaning and usage of ISAs, drawing on the latest research and neuroimaging data. Adopting a truly interdisciplinary perspective, it will appeal to students and scholars from diverse backgrounds, and anyone interested in exploring this phenomenon, which is so pervasive in our daily lives"-- Sprechsituation (DE-588)4273706-0 gnd rswk-swf Indirect speech acts (Linguistics) Semantics (Philosophy) LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Semantics Sprechsituation (DE-588)4273706-0 s DE-604 Online version Ruytenbeek, Nicolas, 1985- Indirect speech acts Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021 9781108673112 Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032622731&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032622731&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
