| Summary: |
Biographical note: Istvan Kecskes is Professor and Director of the TESOL Graduate Programs at the State University of New York at Albany, USA. Main description: This book focuses on formulaic expressions called Situation-Bound Utterances (SBU). These are highly conventionalized, prefabricated pragmatic units whose occurrence is tied to standardized communicative situations. The unique feature of the book is that it discusses SBUs in a cognitive-pragmatic theoretical framework, focusing on four opposing perspectives: monolingual versus multilingual approach; formulaic and creative language use; literal and figurative language (salient meaning); SBUs in L1 and L2. Review text: "This book is a must read for whoever is interested in the exploration of fields as varied as theoretical linguistics, cognition, communication studies, pragmatics, second language acquisition, and bilingualism."Fran ois Cooren in: Pragmatics & Cognition 1/2004 |
