Description
The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Pragmatics is a comprehensive critical survey of the field of L2 pragmatics, collecting a number of chapters that highlight the key theories, methods, pedagogies, and research findings throughout its development over the last four decades.
Demonstrating the ways in which pragmatics has long served as a lens through which to examine patterns of L2 development, the volume is divided into six parts which reflect the field's structure and evolution:
* Constructs and units of analysis
* Theoretical approaches
* Methodological approaches
* Pedagogical approaches
* Contexts and individual considerations
* L2 pragmatics in the global era
The handbook has a particular focus on covering not only traditional topics in the field, such as constructs of pragmatic competence (e.g., speech acts, implicature), teaching and assessment, and pragmatics learning in a study abroad program, but also emerging areas of study, including interactional pragmatics, intercultural pragmatics, usage-based approaches, corpus linguistics, and psycholinguistic experimentation.
Each chapter introduces the topic and follows with a description of its theoretical underpinnings, an overview of existing literature, appraisal of current practice, concluding with a discussion of future directions for research and key readings.
The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Pragmatics is an essential resource for those with an interest in second language acquisition, pragmatics, and language teaching.

Reviews / Votes
"The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Pragmatics fills a long-felt gap by providing such an intellectually provocative, theoretically robust, methodologically profound, and pedagogically applicable collection ... which offers plenty of food for thought for anyone interested in SLA and pragmatics."Ali Derakhshan, Golestan University, in Applied Linguistics
"By exploring questions of great nuance, it represents a major contribution to our understanding of L2 pragmatics. [... T]his wide-ranging volume provides a highly accessible entry point to the long-standing relationship between pragmatics and SLA. [...] Although the new millennium has witnessed a proliferation of L2 pragmatics research and teaching informed by SLA theories, this field is still dominated by European and North American voices. [...] It is gratifying to note that this volume includes the many voices of Asian scholars whose work on the shifting conceptions of intercultural pragmatics contributes uniquely to some of the basic questions in L2 pragmatic acquisition and development research, namely, what is learned, how it is learned, and particularly why something is learned or not learned. [...] Written by leading scholars in the field, the contributions have sought to demonstrate why pragmatics is a profitable arena for SLA research and how SLA provides theoretical frameworks and empirical methods to address the constructs and changes within pragmatic systems. [... T]he contributions in this volume have managed to balance input-based and output-based approaches, awareness and assessment issues, grammatical and prosodic choices, and well-established and newly-emerging domains."
Xin Li, Shanghai International Studies University, in Journal of Linguistics
