Description
Speech Acts: Discursive, Multimodal, Diachronic presents a thorough examination of speech act theory within the field of pragmatics. The work explores how speech acts function across various communicative contexts, extending beyond traditional linguistic boundaries to include multimodal forms of communication.
Andreas H. Jucker investigates the evolution of speech acts from a diachronic perspective, tracing how these communicative units have developed and changed over time. The book integrates discursive analysis with multimodal considerations, demonstrating how speech acts operate not only through spoken and written language but also through visual and other communicative channels.
As part of the Elements in Pragmatics series, this volume serves as both an introduction and advanced resource for students and scholars interested in understanding how speakers accomplish communicative goals through structured acts of speech in diverse historical and medial contexts.
