Linguistische Pragmatik in historischen Bezügen

The further back one goes in history, the more difficult it is to uncover, describe, and interpret the conventions of linguistic usage in earlier societies; in addition, the medium of writing requires special consideration. Based on the latest research, the 20 essays in this volume offer suggestions and models as applied to different stages of language, types of texts, specific linguistic problems, and methodological approaches.
